Incorporated in 1990 in Seattle, Washington by Founder and President Beth Shephard, CONNECTIONS has grown and continued to expand each year of operation.
Our clients include visitors from Japan, France, Spain, Italy, Russia, and Columbia. We work closely with our foreign agents to ensure quality, timeliness, and clear communication.
Our North American hosting cities spread from the East to West coasts, from San Francisco to Toronto.
Each city is managed by a carefully selected and supervised Area Director who is in continual contact with the Home Office.
Each student is connected with a Community Coordinator who will assist each participant on an individual basis to insure satisfaction and safety.
Our carefully selected and screened network of over 800 Host Families is the cornerstone of our success.
