Exchange Student Youth Advocate

Flexible Schedule | Atlanta, GA 30303

This role is called a local Area Representative. By getting involved as an ASSE Area Representative, you will be making a difference in the world - one young person at a time. As an ASSE Area Representative, you'll be that all-important point person for students placed in your area during their year in the US. Our exchange students are top-notch kids who come from a variety of countries. Guide, advocate, support and friend are just some of the ways you will be involved as you oversee the ASSE program in your area and help an international student get the most out of their year here. An Area Representative should be comfortable connecting with the community to reach potential host families. If you have good communication skills (especially listening), an appreciation for different cultures, an outgoing and positive personality you will be great for this. In addition, you'll help teenagers in your own community become ASSE exchange students abroad. Opening up the world of international experience and learning to students in your area is an important role of being an ASSE Representative.

As aa volunteer Area Representative you will be responsible for recruiting and supporting host families, placing exchange students in safe and welcoming homes and maintain regular contact to ensure the exchange runs smoothly for both students and families. You will plan a few activities for them to learn more about the US. In return, the students share their own customs, culture and cuisines. It is a fun way to learn more about cultural diversity and the customs of other countries without spending money on travel, and you will gain the student and their family as friends for life!
