The Vladimir/Canterbury Sister City Association is seeking:

host families for high school students from Vladimir, Russia who will come to Bloomington-Normal for the academic year 2012-2013.  We hope to host TWO exchange students next year, but this will depend on the willingness of families in our community to volunteer as hosts.

Also, they are seeking applications for students to go to Vladimir, Russia for 3 weeks in June, 2012.  Students will live with a host family with an English-speaking teenage sibling.  There is no cost for the exchange program except for airfare and visa costs.

The visa will cost approx. $200 and airfare will be partially subsidized by the Vladimir Canterbury Sister City Association up to $1200.

More information is on the internet at http://www.normal.org/index.aspx?NID=404.

To request information on both of these opportunities,

please send an email to RussianHighSchoolExchange@frontier.com.

 

Coming Soon in March 2012:
