Host Families Needed to Welcome 34 International Students
Education First Educational Homestay Programs (EHP) is now accepting caring volunteer host families who are ready to welcome students into their home for a few weeks this summer. This non-profit program provides a unique opportunity for families to make life-long friendships with international students while learning about their culture – all without leaving home.
From July 16 – August 5th host families on the Eastside will welcome 34 EHP students. Our students will attend language and culture classes and enjoy
planned activities during weekdays, chaperoned by our staff. Host-siblings are
welcome to join some activities too! Weekends will be free for host families to
enjoy activities with their students while building long lasting cross-cultural
bonds. Families also earn travel rewards and discounts through this program.
Children of host families can earn community service credit and 24-hour support from EHP staff is available.
Families able to provide a room (shared is fine), an extra plate at the table, and –
most importantly – a stable caring environment, have what it takes to share their life with an eager student from abroad this summer. Host family sign-ups close on April 10th.
