TRANSNATIONAL EXCHANGE PROGRAM

Continue your love of language learning in Boston and beyond!

Participating in LEX Language Project's homestay program is an adventure in which you live within another culture as a "sister" or a "son" in a host family. You discover sounds and words by traveling to visit people all over the world. Through experiencing being part of the family and not a "guest" from another country, you will develop your cultural and language growth in a natural, immersive environment. Before departure and after returning home, your homestay experience will grow, both when you prepare for your trip and when you share your experience and discoveries with your LEX or 4-H club at home.

Each year, 2000 members from LEX programs in Japan, Korea, Mexico, Taiwan and the U.S. travel to 25 countries on exchange. Every exchange program started on a small scale, and has grown through the positive interactions experienced by both hosts and visitors.

LEX America organizes homestays for LEX Language Project members and for participants with our partner organizations: States' 4-H International Exchange Programs, Texas Global Exchange, Premium International Exchange, ERDT, and the Canadian/Japanese Exchange.

Family Exchange Program:

Why should only kids have fun all the time? Most traditional homestay programs are designed for students, but at LEX we believe that a homestay experience can be a great adventure for anyone! We invite LEX Language Project adults and families to go on homestays to Japan, Mexico, and beyond.
