Why This Role Stands Out
This unique opportunity offers a deeply rewarding cultural exchange experience, allowing you to make a profound impact on an international student's life while gaining invaluable cross-cultural understanding from the comfort of your own home. You'll thrive if you possess a caring nature and a desire to foster a supportive environment, and we encourage you to apply to join this vibrant global community.
Quick Overview
Job Description
Host Family - F1 International High School Student
We are a thriving international education organization supporting students from 30+ countries. We’re seeking caring, reliable host families to join our community as Full‑Time Hosts (5–10 months), Short‑Term Hosts (1–6 weeks), or Back‑Up Hosts (a few days to a few weeks).
Host Families provide a safe, welcoming home and help students adjust to life in the U.S., build confidence, and reach their potential. This is a cultural‑exchange opportunity—not traditional employment.
Key Responsibilities
• Be 25+ and provide an English‑speaking home
• Offer nutritious meals
• Provide a private or shared bedroom
• Maintain a safe, stable, caring environment
• Ensure transportation to school (bus, bike, walk, or drop‑off)
Household Guidelines
Families set clear expectations around meals, guests, curfew, electronics, chores, and routines to help students feel secure and supported.
Program Support
• Dedicated coordinator with monthly check‑ins
• 24/7 emergency support
• Back‑up host families for vacations or emergencies
• Strong partnership with local schools
Compensation:
Monthly stipend amounts are aligned with each student's program structure, so they may vary by placement.
Direct deposit provided.
While families receive a stipend, the heart of hosting is cultural exchange—sharing daily life, building connections, and supporting a young person’s journey.
