Become a host in Eastbourne with EF

The EF Host Family Program in Eastbourne has been running for more than 40 years and every year the number of students coming here is growing. For their academic and cultural immersion EF students travel to Eastbourne to experience the city’s combination of Victorian charm and bustling seaside living in Southern England.

Students come from all corners of the world and our host families in Eastbourne are ready to welcome them and show them the classic pebbled beaches, manicured seaside gardens and the sunniest promenade in the UK.

EF is looking for host families throughout the UK, in and around our many locations. Join our host families today and offer our students a profound experience that can change their view of the world – and might change yours too.

As part of our host families in Eastbourne you become a vital part of the students’ experiences abroad. You become their home away from home. Invite a student into your home and show them your local culture. Let them live as a local for maximum cultural immersion and help them to discover all the best spots in town, from the beautiful beaches to the stunning views from Beachy Head. Become an EF host family in Eastbourne today and represent your community to the world!
