Become a SHARE! Exchange Program Coach!

A desire to learn about what separates us culturally, as well as to celebrate all that we share in common as people, lies at the heart of SHARE!’s mission.

We are currently searching for Exchange Program Coaches (EPCs) to serve the state of Iowa –specifically around Sioux City and Spencer, IA.

While the position is remote, you will need to be located in this area.

ERDT/SHARE! is engaged in providing quality homestays and enrollments in American high schools for foreign high school students coming to the United States for a full academic year (10 months) or one semester (5 months).

As an Exchange Program Coach, you will have the important task of locating enthusiastic and nurturing families ready to welcome a visiting student from a foreign country into their home.

As a Department of State designated program, SHARE! takes great pride in achieving a great degree of compatibility between host family and student, and YOUR role in this process is what can make the difference in the experience for both.

This role is an independent contractor position for supplemental income, not a full-time position.

You determine the means and methods for fulfilling the duties and responsibilities of facilitating an exchange program in your community. The EPC is primarily responsible for coordinating quality homestays for the student with their host family and their high school enrollment. We count on our EPCs to facilitate the exchange student’s adjustment to life in the United States, and enhance a positive impression of the United States, which is the purpose of all exchange activity.

Requirements and helpful tips:

• No experience needed!
• As a representative of ERDT, the EPC is required to complete an annual on-line training certification course, administered by the U.S. Department of State.
• Excellent communication skills are necessary to facilitate and coordinate the student’s transition to the United States.
• A strong community connection is very helpful to identify host families.
• Experience working with schools is a plus and will make the job easier to navigate.
• Experience working with teenagers is a plus.
• Coaching, tutoring, teaching, counseling, parenting, or grandparenting are all great skills that will help in this role but no experience is required.
• Training will be provided.

This is a great opportunity for stay-at-home parents, the retired, semi-retired or perhaps someone looking for a second income opportunity.
