Host

Are you interested in helping a student experience and learn about your culture, while getting paid for it?

 

We are looking for available families and individuals who would welcome a student into their home to live with them for a cultural learning experience. As a host, a few of the benefits you gain include:

• Creating greater understanding and appreciation for your culture
• Breaking down misunderstandings and barriers that exist between cultures
• Building new relationships and connections
• Earning a generous financial stipend

 

A homestay can last anywhere from one weekend to one year, depending on the student’s needs and the host’s availability. Hosts agree to:

• Provide a place for the student to sleep (it could be a bed in a private room, a space on the floor in a shared room, a couch in the living room, or another arrangement – we will provide a mattress if needed)
• Provide one meal a day (a homecooked meal every day is not expected)
• Spend three hours a week with the student (sharing meals together, sharing about your culture, answering student’s questions, doing activities together, or any other way you’d like to share time and give them a taste of your culture)
