Become a Host Family
Host families are a very important part of an international student’s experience in the USA. They are the ones who make this experience possible by giving international students the opportunity to learn more about a new culture and develop language and leadership skills that will serve them throughout their lives.
Being a Host Family is not about just providing students with a room and board, but to welcome them as a new member of your family. ExchangeMate USA Host Families are expected to include their students in their daily activities, build memories together and help them adjust to life in America. Most international students are eager to have a true American experience, learn more about the American culture and what is like to live in the USA. Having a loving and supportive Host Family is the key to a successful American experience.
ExchangeMate USA International Coordinators will be there for you and your student in every step of the way. You will have a great support system to help you with anything you need. All Host Families receive their coordinator’s phone number, a 24 hour emergency number and a monthly stipend to help cover the costs associated with having another person in the home.
