SEVEC is a national, not-for-profit association which offers cultural, bilingual and unilingual exchanges for Canadian youth. It's Summer Individual Ex-change Program is geared to stu- dents, aged 11 to 18, who would like to experience life with another family, visit another part of the country and, if they choose a bilingual exchange, improve their grasp of English or French as a second language while being immersed in another culture. The length of the exchange can vary from 7 to 30 days and usually takes place in July. Exchange participants decide upon the duration as well as the dates of the exchange. One of the key ingredients to a successful exchange is the proper matching or "twining" of exchange participants. In order for SEVEC to maintain high standards to ensure stu- dents are matched according to their interests, social maturity and home environment, home interviews are conducted for all candidates by local educators to gather information for the twinning process. For more information call 1-800-38-SEVEC. The deadline for registration is March 15, 1991.
