“Being a foreign exchange student coordinator is incredibly rewarding, as each new arrival brings a unique culture and energy. I love the excitement of matching students with host families and watching lifelong connections form. While the group is here, every day feels like an adventure filled with laughter. As a homeschool family, coordinating and hosting greatly improve my children’s social lives as they learn about new cultures around the world. It’s also inspiring to see students grow in confidence as they navigate a new culture. The best part is knowing that I play a small role in creating deep cross-cultural relationships and fostering cross-cultural understanding.”

“My experience with Go World has been second to none. Since joining a team of like-minded individuals, my passion for working with foreign exchange students has broadened. Ms. Cindy Vance, the founder of Go World, is one who truly has a big heart for exchange students. She looks for that same charisma and passion in her partnerships. Opportunities to be a part of Go World as a local coordinator are limitless.”

“For me, working in cultural exchange means serving as a bridge between people. It is not only about sharing my own traditions and language, but also about connecting and creating opportunities where individuals can learn from each other and discover shared humanity. Every exchange is a chance to grow and to spark transformation in both myself and in those I engage with.
Working with GoWorld has given me opportunities to work with students from other cultures. Recently, I coordinated my first group of 24 students from Japan. It was so enriching and rewarding to spend time with them and to watch them grow in their communication and also in their confidence. I am so thankful for the programs that GoWorld offers and to be able to be a part of something that helps to make a significant difference in other people's lives.”

“Working with Go World this summer was a lot of things. But the most important part was cultural exchange. For me cultural exchange is the bridge where understanding walks and humanity meets.
It was a very busy summer, but it was worth the work. Working with these different groups of students allowed me to see the world from another viewpoint. I got to meet, sit/talk, learn, and teach in a new light, appreciating different cultures and appreciating the experience of cultural exchange even more.”

"I've been a Coordinator with Go World for a bit now here in NY. The quick responses and communication have been the best by far that I have ever experienced with any exchange company. I love that Go World is attentive to the host families, children, and the coordinators.
There is no other foreign exchange company I will ever work for other than Go World."
