We need host families for students going to private schools in Lansdale, Glenside, Royersford, Philadelphia, and Bryn Mawr in Pennsylvania. We pay host families monthly stipends. Please share this information. Thank you very much.
Here are some of the most common questions about host families.
1, Who can be the host families?
Host families come in many shapes and sizes. There is no typical host family: families with teens, no children, young children, children who have grown, single parents and grandparents. Host families live in large cities, suburban areas, on farms and ranches, or in small communities. Our students are also from diverse family situations. Using your interests and preferences, a representative from one of the placement organizations will help you in matching an exchange student to your family situation.
2, How will our family benefit by hosting an international exchange student?
Hosting an exchange student is a rewarding experience for your whole family. You’ll learn about another culture and language — without leaving home. You’ll start a life-long relationship with your new "son" or "daughter," and when your student returns home you’ll have a friend in another country. Members of your family will feel closer to each other through sharing your daily lives with an exchange student. If you have children, they’ll gain a broader perspective on the world, learning more about geography, communication and international cultures. If your children are young, they’ll probably love having a big brother or sister from another country. You will be a citizen diplomat by creating positive impressions about America and Americans, breaking stereotypes, and fostering mutual understanding and respect.

Hosting a U.S. Department of State-sponsored international exchange high school student brings valuable lessons into American homes and schools in ways more personal and effective than any book or teacher could convey.
