BECOME A HOMESTAY FAMILY

Living With A Homestay

Becoming a homestay family is a rewarding experience that offers a unique opportunity to welcome international students or travelers into your home and share your culture and daily life with them. As a host, you provide not only a safe and comfortable living environment but also emotional support and guidance as your guest navigates a new country. It’s a chance to form lasting connections, learn about different cultures, and enrich your own family life through cross-cultural exchange. Homestay hosting requires openness, flexibility, and a genuine interest in fostering mutual understanding, making it an experience that can be both meaningful and transformative for everyone involved.

For more information you can review our homestay guidelines and caregiver booklet.  To apply please complete our homestay application.
