Qualifications and Responsibilities
CCI Area Representatives come from all walks of life. Many are teachers, nurses, retirees or at-home moms - and others are bankers, lawyers, doctors…you name it! What ARs have in common is a love for working with people of different cultures and backgrounds and a desire to work flexible, part-time hours from home as independent contractors. Area Representative responsibilities generally include:

• Identifying schools open to international exchange students.
• Recruiting American families and outbound students interested in international exchange.
• Matching host families with international students.
• Providing orientations and group outings for international students and host families.
• Acting as a support person and counselor for families and international students.
