Host an International Student this Spring with ACES

Bring the World to Your Front Door This Spring!

Are you looking for a unique way to give back and experience a new culture without leaving Portland? The American Cultural Exchange Service (ACES) is seeking local host families to welcome international students into their homes this spring.

Why Host?

By opening your home, you’re doing more than providing a room—you’re helping a student practice their English, navigate American life, and build lifelong friendships. Whether it’s sharing a meal or exploring a local park, you'll give them a true "Portland" experience.

Flexible Options

Programs are designed to fit your schedule:

• One week (Short-term immersion)
• One month (Mid-term stay)
• ...or more!

Get Started

If you have a spare room and a warm heart, ACES would love to hear from you.
