Host Families Bring Greenheart Home and Choose an Exchange Program that Goes one Step More.

Greenheart is CCI Greenheart’s environmental and social initiative that connects people and planet through environmentalism, fair trade, social transformation, and cross cultural understanding. The Greenheart Club sets CCI Greenheart apart from other cultural exchange organizations. We take the exchange experience a step further, by helping school, students, host families, and communities learn about global issues and act to change the world.

As a volunteer host family, we thank you for giving your students an example of American volunteerism in their new home. The best thing you can do for your student is get them involved in their new community through activities likevolunteering. The Greenheart Club recognizes students with rewards when they volunteer and log their counter hours in the online database. Encourage your student to join the club.

Students can travel the USA with Greenheart. Greenheart offers exciting trips to Hawaii, Colorado, and more destinations during school breaks.
