A warm, loving,
and caring environment..........

Are you able to provide a warm, loving
and safe environment for a student?

 If so, you qualify to be a host family!  There are many benefits to welcoming an student into your home.  It is not necessary to have teenage children, and single parents and retired couples may apply.

 Among these are:
    •  A Friend For Life
    •  A New Understanding of a Different Culture
    •  A Chance to Show and Share Your American Pride
    •  Greater Appreciation of Your Culture

  Host families are selected based on a few minor factors. The minimum age is 25. The family must have a generous heart and an open mind. An application with references will be needed and an in-home interview will be conducted. You provide room and board for the student and make every effort to "adopt" them as a family member for the school term. You will have the opportunity to select the student based upon their lifestyles and interests. The students are fully insured and have their own spending money. This is an exciting opportunity to provide a warm environment that will foster an environment for a student to experience a great deal of personal growth. At the same time, you will be exposing your family to a new culture and possibly many new interests. You never know what great skills your student might have and be willing to share with you.  Please click here for a printable application form, or call us at 1-800-527-2664 for more information.
