Can we host a student if we're not a typical family?

Host families can be couples without children, couples with children that are in High School or younger, single parents, without children in the home, adoptive parents, or same sex couples.

Where will my student sleep?

Your student may have his/her own room or may share a room with a child of the same gender. You will only need to provide his/her own bed.

Do the students have medical insurance?

Are the students allowed to drive?

How long is the student’s stay?

Students can stay anywhere from 2-8 weeks in length.
