COMMUNITY
BoldLeaders Looking for Host Families. BoldLeaders has a fantastic opportunity for you and your family to have a global experience for two weeks this December (12/3/11-12/16/11).
Headquartered in Denver, BoldLeaders is an organization dedicated to providing leadership development and training services for young people and adults all over the world. The Bold Leaders Sub-Saharan Africa program is looking for gracious families who want to open their lives to the expansive experience of making a “home” for a youth or adult from Kenya or Tanzania.
For the youth exchange students, we are looking for homes that have a teen (ages 14-19) that can share the American teen perspective and learn the African youth’s joys, concerns and dreams. The exchange students will attend high school with the host student for two days and the remainder of the time will be spent with other BoldLeaders.
