Host families are needed for international students arriving in August.

The students, who will attend local high schools, are between 15 and 18 years old, speak English, are fully insured medically and will be bringing their own spending money, according to a notice from Northwest Services PEACE Program Inc.

Host families can include single parents as well as those with or without children at home. There is a wide variety of countries to choose from.

To express interest in being a host family, call Pat Darby, area coordinator with Northwest Services PEACE Program Inc. at 978-632-8270 or email patdarby6@yahoo.com. To learn more about the organization, visit nw-services.com.
