Dear Arizona-Italian Families! One of our partners, Flora Tromelin, CEO of FCT Strategies, is currently seeking families interested in hosting a high-school French student (kids will be between 13 and 17 years old) from June 9 to June 30. These French kids will be here to strengthen their English and learn more about the Arizona and American culture. Hosting an international student offers a life-changing experience for the entire family that lasts well after the time of the exchange. When you open up your heart and home to an exchange student, you are doing much more than making their dream come true. You are: Learning about your student’s culture and traditions. Modeling cultural acceptance for your own children or grand-children. Making a positive and meaningful impact on your exchange student, family, school and community. Host families come in all shapes and sizes – What matters most is that you provide a safe and caring environment for an exchange student to live. Your love, guidance and support will mean the world to them! Flora’s program received a 100% satisfaction rate in 2022. We hope that you will consider hosting one of these kids, as this program is a great way to showcase Arizona in Europe, and bring awareness about what we do and how we live here. Please reach out directly to Flora at 480-828-6064 or flora@fctstrategiesllc.com if you are interested in learning more about this program.Additional information is available here: https://www.fctstrategiesllc.com/partnership-with-terre-des-langues

OUR STORY

Benvenuti alla Arizona Italian-American Chamber of Commerce

In 2020, in the wake of one of the most devastating economic hardships the Italian-American business community has ever seen. A group of local Italians set out to create a network to unite the Italian business community in Arizona in order to fortify the community and ensure that the Italian-American culture continues to flourish all throughout the valley.

If you were born in Italy and have moved to Arizona for employment. If you are an entrepreneur who has founded an Italian based business. If you derive your business based on Italian hardworking ethics. Or even if you just love the Italian community and business culture. We welcome you all into our famiglia.
