Area representatives and host families needed

INTO EDVENTURES is urgently looking for individuals to work as area representatives, which find host families and work with the students and their families during the placement and school year. Individuals must enjoy teenagers and have good communication skills. Area reps get supplemental income, bonuses and travel opportunities.

INTO EDVENTURES is also urgently looking for host families in the local area to host a foreign exchange student. These young ambassadors are all between the ages of 15 and 18 years and speak English.

Student profiles have arrived for students from various countries. They all come with their own medical insurance and spending money.

Please call Donna Rodrock, regional manager, at (877) 522-4868 if you are interested in learning about becoming an area representative or if you are interested in opening your heart and home.
