The STS Foundation is seeking families in Lawrence to host exchange students.

The students are from more than 30 countries and will attend local high schools for the entire school year. A foundation representative said they were looking for as many families as possible.

Host families need to provide students meals, a separate sleeping area and a nurturing environment. Students have their own spending money, and coordinators from STS will be available in Lawrence throughout the school year.

The STS Foundation is a nonprofit operated in Scottsdale, Ariz. Families interested in hosting students should call 1-800-522-4678 or email craig@stsfoundation.org.
