We are starting to sign up host families for our 2012 VT KnowledgeWorks Global Partnership Week, August 19-25, 2012.  We hope you will consider the opportunity to participate in this global event!

If you are able to commit to being a host family at this time, we would appreciate hearing back from you at your earliest convenience.  For more information about being a host family, please contact me at leversole@vtknowledgeworks.com.
