This not-for-profit, charitable organization specialized in inter- cultural learning is in its final month of student recruitment across Canada. It urges students interested in living the cultural and personal challenge of a lifetime to apply now for one of over 200 home and study stays available in any of 32 different countries. “We want to give these students the opportunity to enrich themselves by living and learning in an environment completely dif- ferent to their own,’’ says Micky Herbold, an active Interculture Canada volunteer in Vancouver. “The more students we can - recruit, the more we’ll feel we’re doing for young Canadians.”’ While a few placements remain available in the popular winter departure destinations, such as Brazil, Australia and Japan, Inter- culture Canada is now pushing to fill its many other summer depar- ture placements around the world. Students on the program live with a carefully selected host family and complete a full year of studies in the language of the host country. Throughout, the student’s immer- sion is backed by the support of a focal volunteer counsellor. ‘‘Our program turns the discovery of another country and another language into the discovery of self,’’ concludes Her- bold, ‘‘and its effects don’t just last a year, they last a lifetime.” Participation fees, which are all inclusive, are comparable to the amount often spent on an adoles- cent over an !1-month period. For financially disadvantaged families, assistance is available. Interculture Canada is a member of AFS Intercultural Programs, the world’s largest network of in- tercultural exchange programs established in 1947, Now operating in over 70 countries, this network is known for the quality of its pro- grams, maintained through over 100,000 volunteers around the world.
