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.
