In 1969, Nacel organizers started working with some American teachers of French to provide summer homestay programs for French teenagers in the United States. Programs with Canada, Mexico, Spain, and Germany were added in the succeeding years. Over the years, Nacel's programs have successfully provided young people with opportunities to discover new things about themselves and the world around them.

My mother traveled abroad in high school and felt this would be a great experience for me to immerse myself in the Spanish language and experience being away from home and meeting new people. She also hosted a young girl from France when she was young and said she remembers what a great experience it was and how life changing it was. It also gave me a chance to leave my school and see how another school was in another country. Also none of my siblings or friends have done this.
