Open Your Home to an International Student
M
iles, language, and cultural differences sometimes make us feel worlds apart from
each other. But when you welcome an international student into your home, you
quickly discover they become family. Through conversations and experiences at
home, school, and throughout the community, you will learn how close together “worlds
apart” can really be.
Build lifelong friendships with a family from across the globe through your student.
Learn New Cultures
Introduce your family to a new language, new foods and music, and an entirely new culture.
Gain a New Perspective
See “your” world with fresh eyes as you share experiences with and learn from someone
from across the globe.
Make a Difference
Your support of diversity and cultural awareness extend to your family, schools and
throughout the community.
Build Lifelong Friendships
Build lifelong friendships with a family from across the globe through your student.
Who Can Host a Student?
There is no typical James Hargest host family! Married, single, young or empty nesters, with or without kids – Everyone is welcome!
James Hargest host families all share the desire to learn, teach, love and grow through their hosting experience.
Our host families volunteer to provide students:
• Home Sweet Home: A comfy, safe place to live, sleep, study, and thrive –short or long term!
• Healthy Meals: Three meals a day.
• A Reliable Ride: Host families or friends can provide a ride or students can use public transportation.
• Time and Enthusiasm: Welcome them, love them, listen to them, teach them, show them!
