Update, July 1: A host family has been secured.
ACC International Programs is searching for a host family for the 2013-14 school year for a German student participating in the Congress-Bundestag Youth Exchange for Young Professionals (CBYX).
CBYX has been connecting German students with American host families for more than 28 years. ACC has participated in the program for 13 years.
The student is a 21-year-old English-speaking female. She does not smoke. She enjoys tennis, traveling, and spending time with friends and family.
The host family must be willing to welcome the student into their home for the entire academic year, and provide room and board. The host family is eligible for a monthly stipend of up to $225 to offset room and board costs.
“A host family will have the opportunity to develop a close relationship with the exchange student, learn about her country, and help her learn about life in the U.S.,” says William Hayden, director of International Programs.
For more information about being a host family, contact Hayden at 223.7689 or [email protected]. To learn more about the CBYX program, visit austincc.edu/intstudy/exchange.

I am a current student, enrolled full time at Austin Community College and am also an F.Y.E director for the ACC Riverside campus team. My whole family is of GERMAN decent. My major is International Buisness. I live with my mother who works for the school for the blind. We could use the stipen, but mostly i feel we as fellow students could learn a great deal from eachother.
