ACES Portland Homestays

Happy International Day of Forests! 🌲💚

One of the most amazing parts of hosting exchange students in Portland is watching them discover our deep connection to nature. From exploring Forest Park and Multnomah Falls to learning from local sustainability organizations and hands-on environmental classes, students get to see firsthand how our city protects and celebrates its green spaces.

These experiences don’t just teach ecology, they inspire a lifelong love for the environment. 🌍✨

This past weekend, we said goodbye to our amazing America Plus students! During their three weeks here, they learned about Portland culture through hands-on activities including a coffee study, a Blazers game, and quality time with their local host families. We want to say thank you to our incredible hosts. From arrival to departure, they were there every step of the way offering a home away from home.
