The World Affairs Council is seeking globally minded families and individuals in the greater Seattle area to provide a home stay this summer for one or two weeks for Youth Leaders from Iraq, Mexico, China, the Middle East and North Africa.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
These high school and college-aged youth leaders have been awarded scholarships from the U.S. Department of State and are excited to live with local host families as part of their program. This is a wonderful opportunity to learn about cultures from around the world and to share a little of our own Pacific Northwest culture and hospitality.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
