For the past 12 years, FKK has welcomed and hosted soccer players/students that attend the EVN school in Denmark.
- Age of Students: 16-17 years old / boys and girls
- 75 Students Total = 29 girls and 46 boys
- 35-38 host families needed
- 2 EVN students per host family (some families can take up to 3-4) They are paired up so it's easier for them to communicate and they feel comfortable having a friend around.
- Coordinator: Georgine Mikalsen / 407-209-7307 (email, text or call with any questions!)

GENERAL SCHEDULE:
Host Families will have their EVN students on the weekend(s) to do whatever you want! They love doing normal family things like running errands, going to your kid's games, etc -- you can show them what you'd like to show them about Florida, but the will also let you know what they are curious about.
During the week -- Monday thru Friday, each host family will have a drop-off location that is convenient to your home. There will be other families that will share that same location (ie: a Publix parking lot, Wawa, Chick Fil A, etc). You will drop them off in the early morning so you can go about your day for work/school. The EVN vans pick up the kids and go do their planned event for that day.
In the evening -- the pickup location will be the same place. But because of practices, works schedules, and what the EVN students are doing that night, it could change and the EVN staff is very flexible. They can meet you at the fields or somewhere you need your EVN students need to be dropped off to you. It's flexible and organized!
