Host
Families
Two Worlds United Host Families.
Host
Families
are
carefully
chosen
by
Two Worlds United
based
upon
their
desire
to
host
a
visiting
student
and
their
ability
to
provide
a
safe,
comfortable
home
and
a
positive
cultural
experience
for
their
new
family
member.
Host
families
decide
to
host
for
many
reasons:
to
make
friends
with
a
young
person
from
abroad,
to
encourage
the
exchange
of
ideas,
to
share
their
culture
and
to
learn
about
yours.
They
will
offer
guidance,
help
you
adjust
throughout
your
stay
and
help
you
understand
life
in
their
country.
They
will
be
eager
to
answer
your
questions
and
above
all,
they
will
want
to
welcome
you
as
a
member
of
their
family.
What
are
the
Host
Families
like.
The
volunteer
host
families
selected
for
Two Worlds United
exchange
students
are
carefully
screened.
They
agree
to
take
a
young
person
from
another
country
into
their
home
and
teach
him
or
her
about
their
own
culture
and
language.
A
host
family
provides
warm
care
and
counseling
as
well
as
room
and
board
for
their
exchange
student.
Each
family
is
interviewed
in
their
home
and
is
chosen
for
their
ability
and
desire
to
welcome
a
young
person.
Because
a
student’s
well
being
is
Two Worlds United’s
foremost
priority,
host
families
are
carefully
screened.
The Families are diverse.
They
may
have
children
of
any
age,
not
necessarily
teenagers,
or
they
may
not
have
children
at
all.
There
may
be
other
relatives
living
in
the
home.
They
may
live
in
urban,
suburban,
or
rural
areas,
and
they
may
live
in
an
apartment
or
on
a
farm.
They
will
have
one
feature
in
common
-
a
desire
to
welcome
an
exchange
student
into
their
home
and
to
treat
him/her
as
a
member
of
the
family.
Students
are
matched
with
host
families
based
on
common
interests
and
activities.
