SHARE! HIGH SCHOOL EXCHANGE PROGRAM

Educational Resource Development Trust/SHARE! (ERDT/SHARE!) program believes that cross-cultural understanding is fundamental to developing mutual respect and tolerance between Americans and people from other countries. 

ERDT/SHARE!'s High School Program offers international teens the opportunity to learn first-hand about the American way of  life, our culture and traditions. 

ERDT/SHARE! matches teens from 25 different countries with volunteer American host families throughout the United States and enrolls the students into the local public high schools for their semester or academic year abroad.  Participants are carefully screened and oriented to ensure that they are academically prepared, proficient in English, and demonstrate maturity, adaptability and a sincere desire to experience American culture.
 

"En route from Bangkok to their new host families around the USA, four tired students from our new partner A&D Thailand - along with director Kittichai Khamkerd - stopped by the ERDT/SHARE! National Office in Santa Monica, CA."
