The 2013-14 Academic Year program for our J-1 High School participants and their American host families has come to an end, but the memories will truly live on long after the goodbyes have been said. And just as when the students first arrived and new families were forming bonds and learning routines to live their year together in exchange, now so many of our families and students are adjusting back to a life that seems very different from last year. For so many students and families, the memories created and the experiences had here will be something to celebrate and inspire new and future adventures. We at CCI Greenheart share in their joy and treasured memories of new experiences and families across borders. Interested in making memories of your own, next year? Become a host family for 14-15!
