These committees are responsible for selection of the students and host families. The volunteer work is the power of the organization that through the increasing of social compromise, developed from a institution dedicated only to intercultural exchange for a revision of its paper in the Brazilian society, as a volunteer organization that contributes for the development of the citizenship and of the democracy in the country.
