SOUTH BEND, Ind. -- International Cultural Exchange Services (ICES), an international nonprofit that assists students looking to study abroad, is calling on families to host international exchange students for when the school year rolls around.
To learn more about what it takes to be a host family, ABC57's Summer Horan sat down with ICES Local Coordinator, Jamie Dendiu, and ICES Regional Manager, Brenda Markin.
If you have any further questions about becoming a host family, you can head to ICES USA website to learn how to get involved.
