Few experiences can spark interest in the world like opening up your home and becoming a host family for an international student. Being a host family with EF is a unique, rewarding, fun and educational experience for all members of the family and an opportunity to create long-lasting relationships. Our EF host families get the chance to meet new international friends, and learn the interesting differences between various languages and cultures.
With EF you’ll welcome an international student into your home. You will experience true cultural exchange and demonstrate your community to the world. As a host family you become a vital part of our students’ time abroad and their experiences, helping them to gain a deeper insight into your local culture, pick up expressions with much greater ease and return home with a more authentic accent.
By becoming one of our host families you give our students a chance to experience maximum cultural immersion by living as locals – with locals. Our host families become the students’ home away from home, and EF host families provide a safe and comfortable environment for our students to ensure they get the best experience abroad as possible.
