Host an Italian student, your child will be invited to Italy

Ergon, an Italian-based organization partnering with NorthWest Student Exchange, is looking for families to host a 16-17 year old Italian student for a semester or school year.

Ergon program ensures a true cross cultural opportunity. The Italian families offer to your son or daughter a direct exposure to Italian culture through an all-expenses paid summer vacation in Italy, and Ergon sponsors the flight.

Ergon specializes in a rigorous selection process ensuring that students are academically strong, responsible, and proficient in English; we devote great care to matching students with host families. Students are fully insured and arrive with pocket money for all expenses, including recreation activities and vacations.

Several of our Italian students have attended Mercer Island, Skyline, Bothell, Vashon, Roosevelt, Garfield, Ballard, Nathan Hale and Lake Washington high schools with excellent experiences for students and families alike. Past and present host families are happy to share their experience with you.
