Does anyone have any suggestions for finding families to host high school foreign exchange students? I thought about putting bulletins at work, schools, and churches but can't think of anything else. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Those would be great locations. You might also inquire at any local high schools to see if they have any current exchange students. You can find out which organizations they went through and contact the organizations directly. It may be possible to leave your name and phone number for the host families of those students to contact you as well to let you know how they found out about it.

When I went through a program, we went to different high schools and made a presentation that included info for students to take home. The info was focused mostly on the idea of the students considering traveling overseas, but also included info for their families regarding being a host family.

I know my high school has sister schools in china and other areas, where we get and give students for a semester or w/e. I'd recommend talking to someone at your school
