Our host family program provides international students with a supportive and welcoming environment during their time studying in the US while on holidays and short breaks. As a host family, you can make a meaningful impact on a student’s life by sharing your home and culture, providing guidance, and creating a supportive community. Our program also provides host family training to ensure that our families are equipped with the necessary skills and knowledge to provide a safe and comfortable environment for our students. Host families are not financially responsible for their students, and host families are not expected to provide support beyond the comfort level of their personal/family circumstances.
After you complete the inquiry form, the program director will follow up with you to schedule a phone screen.
After the phone screen, you will be sent a unique link to the host family application. We are available to answer any questions you may have on completing the application.
Our host application process is completely online. After your application is reviewed, we will conduct background checks on all members of the home, 18 years of age and older and schedule a virtual visit to your home to meet your family and see where a potential student would be living on holidays and short term breaks. At this time, we will take photos and compile a hosting profile to share with potential students and their families to get to know you better.
