The most powerful force in the promotion of international understanding and peace is exposure to different cultures. Youth Exchange provides thousands of young people with the opportunity to meet people from other lands and to experience their cultures. This plants the seeds for a lifetime of international understanding.

Cedar Springs Public School would like to welcome our exchange students Janni Jaske from Finland, Pauline Kerchner from Germany, Gabriel Martins Silva from Brazil, Lucia Olivas Aragon from Spain, Giovana Paim from Brazil, and Martin Pederson from Denmark.

One way to become a host family is through our local Cedar Springs Rotary Chapter.

If you are interested in becoming a host family for next year or would like more information please contact Gabrielle Warner (616) 732-9000, Sue Wolfe (616) 696-2246, or Tom Noreen (616) 260-0881.
