Volunteers
Laurie Scott, EF Foundation for Foreign Study
There are good stories to be found in nearly every volunteer experience, but Laurie Scott is positive that hosting a foreign exchange student produces some of the greatest. As a longtime volunteer host family with EF Foundation for Foreign Study, which helps international students connect with warm and caring residences during their time in the United States, Scott sees first-hand both the humor and the deeply meaningful outcomes of international exchange.
