Create a Summer of Learning for International Students
Spring and early summer are the most active season on FIUTS' calendar. Students are stepping into leadership. New volunteers are joining. Families are signing up to host. And a summer full of programs — including two major visiting student camps — is coming.
Your donation funds what's already in motion: a weekend homestay for Kiribati students meeting their first Seattle family, a Japanese exchange group playing catch at a Mariners game, a student from Seoul standing in front of a classroom of third-graders in Rainier Valley. These are not abstract programs. They are scheduled dates on a calendar, and they need your support right now.
WHAT YOUR GIFT DOES
Here Is Exactly What Happens When You Give
This is not a wish list. These are programs already scheduled — and your donation is what makes them possible.
$35 — Covers a student's welcome materials, cultural orientation packet, and first program activity when they arrive in Seattle.
$75 — Sponsors one Kiribati student for their homestay weekend with a Seattle family — the visit participants say was the highlight of their entire month.
$150 — Funds one month of FIUTS Pen Pals for a Title I classroom in Seattle, pairing third-graders with international university students for a quarter of letters and one in-person meeting.
$500 — Brings an international student ambassador into a K–6 classroom in White Center, Rainier Valley, or Beacon Hill for a full-quarter Global Ambassador Day visit.
$1,000+ — Sustains FIUTS's host family recruitment and matching operations for a month — the infrastructure behind every homestay, every welcome weekend, every relationship that starts with a stranger at a door.
