Five students will be arriving in August for the upcoming school year from various Middle East countries. These students are exceptional scholars and are part of the Youth for Exchange and Study (YES) program that was started by the U.S. State Department after 9/11 to build bonds of friendship between the U.S. and the predominantly Muslim countries of the Middle East. Here is a link to learn more about the YES program:

Host families are volunteers who provide meals and a loving home; the students have their own health insurance and spending money to cover all of their other expenses.

Below are the profiles of the five YES students needing host families for the upcoming school year.
