We are looking for support from households in Huron and Perth counties to provide homes for international secondary students for the 2023-2024 school year. Students either stay 3-4 months (short-term) or for the full school year.
The role of a homestay family is to provide a welcoming home and family atmosphere for students who are far from home for an extended period of time.
Host families are supported by our Homestay Coordinators, who also live in our communities. Their role is to guide students in their academic studies, introduce them to local students and encourage them to join after-school activities.
Learn more about the program on our Homestay Services page.
Interested?
