International Coordinator

Aspect Foundation

The Aspect Foundation is a non-profit organization that was founded in 1985 to bridge cultures through international youth exchange. Aspect Foundation is designated as an official exchange visitor program by the US Department of State.

As a volunteer with Aspect, I work to find homes for a number of foreign exchange students.  Once a rigorous interview and screening is done and the student is placed it is my responsibility to keep track of the students progress through-out the school year.
