As students become more familiar with the community they also become more active citizens.
朋友是感兴趣的社区成员. 单身人士、家庭、退休人员等. 都可以成为国际学生的朋友吗. 朋友 apply because they want to share their time and talents with others. Having an interest in helping others and a desire to learn more about another culture is all that is required. The diversity of the 朋友 adds a special flare to the program as these people gather for small group and group 活动.
朋友 and students are asked to make contact once a month during their year-long commitment to the program. 接触可以有多种形式. 家庭聚餐, 参加体育赛事, 去万圣节鬼屋, 把树叶耙在一起, 一个快速的电话或短信...
朋友 and students can spend as much or as little time together as their schedules allow. 这使得每段关系都是独立而特殊的. 从朋友和学生的反馈中, 这个节目既丰富又有趣.
