Transnational Exchange

Our homestay exchange programs in 25 countries are available to people of all ages. Some programs include a LEX Multilingual Friendship Camp with participants from up to 15 countries.  Please see individual country pages to learn which programs are offered in each country.

Travel scholarships are available to LEX members and to youth members of our partner organizations who have hosted a LEX member.

25+ Countries
Each year, 2000 members from LEX programs in Japan, Korea, Mexico, and the U.S. travel to 25+ countries on exchange. Our partners are LEX sister organizations in Japan, Mexico, and Korea and non-profits, educational, and community groups in twenty other countries. Each exchange program started on a small scale, and has grown through the positive interactions experienced by both hosts and visitors.  ​

Available countries vary slightly from year to year and may include: Australia, Austria, Canada, China, France, Germany, Indonesia, India, Italy, Japan, Korea, Luxembourg, Malaysia, Mexico, Micronesia, The Netherlands, New Zealand, Russia, San Marino, Singapore, Spain, Taiwan, Thailand, Tunisia, Turkey, the United Kingdom, and Vietnam. ​

​Homestay Travel​
​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 expand, both when you prepare for your trip and when you share your experience and discoveries with your LEX Language Project club or your local community at home. ​

Open to All
While most traditional homestay programs are designed for students, LEX believes that a homestay experience can be a great adventure for anyone! We invite LEX Language Project adults and families to go on homestays and internships to Japan, Mexico, and beyond.
