HELP! WE HAVE INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS WHO NEED A HOST FAMILY FOR THE 2024-2025 SCHOOL YEAR! Hosting an international student is not only a great way to expand your knowledge of another culture but provides a wonderful opportunity for the student to experience yours. Along the way, they will make new friends and improve their use of the English language.
Host families receive a stipend in exchange for providing a loving environment, a room to live in, meals, and transportation to school. The students will cover most of their expenses, including school tuition, health insurance, phone plan, etc, while in the USA.
We are looking for 5-10 families who would be willing to host an international student for the 2024-2025 school year.
