Become an Exchange Program Coordinator for ERDT/SHARE!
Make the world a better place. ERDT/SHARE! has wonderful opportunities for community-minded people interested in coordinating an international high school exchange program in their community. Exchange Program Coordinators (EPCs) recruit and screen local volunteer host families, match them with foreign exchange students, work with high schools and local community organizations, and organize cultural activities for students and host families. EPCs receive a stipend to cover expenses and can earn special travel awards. Working with international exchange students is personally gratifying, culturally enriching, and fun. For more information about this exciting opportunity call toll-free 1-800-321-ERDT (3738) today or send e-mail to erdtshare@earthlink.net.

SHARE! -- THE AMERICAN EXPERIENCE
Work With the Best
ERDT/SHARE! welcomes inquiries from new overseas partners interested in providing quality homestay programs for their clients. Overseas partners are responsible for recruiting and screening potential applicants, in addition to orienting and preparing them for their stay with an American host family. Applicants accepted for our U.S. Programs are placed with carefully screened and oriented host families and receive the full support of a local exchange program coordinator upon arrival in their homestay communities and for the duration of the program. To ensure that exchange students receive continued support throughout the program, ERDT/SHARE! maintains two regional offices, one in Illinois and the other in Missouri in addition to the National Office located in California.
ERDT/SHARE! is a well-known and respected U.S. student exchange organization which cooperates with overseas organizations around the world to provide foreign students between the ages of 15 and 18 the opportunity to live with American volunteer host families and attend public high schools for an academic year (August to June) or a semester (Fall -- August to January or Spring -- January to June).
In addition, ERDT's Special Program Division provides a variety of short-term (one night to eight weeks) opportunities for high school-age and college-age students as well as older visitors wishing to experience American culture in a host family.
As a United States Information Agency (USIA) designated Exchange Visitor Program sponsor and a member of the Council on Standards for International Educational Travel (CSIET) that has been granted full listing in 1995/96 CSIET Advisory List, ERDT/SHARE! meets and exceeds the guidelines and standards for exchange programs established by both USIA and CSIET.
