Good Host Program

The Good Host program is how YOU can get involved - you are invited to help out by meeting, greeting and sharing cultural experiences with our Youth Exchange students. Juan Herrera (Mexico) and Lavinia Cappriccioli (Italy) are here and deserve to see and experience Canada to the fullest. 

Any one of us can be Good Hosts by simply sharing some time with Juan and Lavinia. A phone call, lunch, dinner with family, sporting event, cultural outing, almost anything goes. However - all who host our youth exchange student unsupervised - even for a day event - must have submitted the YE police check paperwork to Paige Freeman prior to hosting.

Please remember to include our youth exchange students in any activities you and your family participate in. Juan and Lavinia can be contacted as follows:

  • Juan Edgar Herrera is currently staying with the Bartons. Simply call him on his cell phone at 778-829-2532 or email him at juan-edgar99@hotmail.com.
  • Lavinia Cappriccioli is currently staying with Hansi Natzke (and Tom). Simply call her on her cell phone at 778-893-2532 or email her at laviniacapriccioli@gmail.com
