This is NOT Religious organisation, but a Parent Driven group whiose mandate is to provide an opportunity for a Foreign Child to stay and visit with an American Family, and they in turn will take responsibility for allowing your child to stay and visit with them.
You do not drop your child off and take out your Credit Card, you must be activly involved and be prepared to give your time and effort.
Both my Son's participated, it was one of the more meaningful events of their lives.
the theory is if kids get to know Foreigners when they are young, they are less likely to shoot them when they get older.
