One of them could very well be making new connections. There is an opportunity to do that -- and more!
Aspect Foundation, a nonprofit study abroad program, is looking for host families to provide housing and three meals a day to a student who wants to learn all about the United States and culture in America.
Students abroad in countries like Germany, Norway and Sweden, are searching for families that have the ability to host them for a semester or a full school year. Aspect Foundation says that host families are able to give an incredible gift to fulfill his or her dreams of experiencing life in America.
Plus, you give your family the chance to learn and appreciate different cultures. And you give your community the chance to look at people from other areas in the world with a fresh perspective.
There are five steps to becoming a host family: getting started with a host family information form; applying online; conducting a home interview; choosing a student; and then preparing for their upcoming study abroad opportunity by getting to know your student.
Families may have a lot of questions, so Aspect Foundation put together a list of Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) in order to answer those inquiries and help families understand more about the exchange program and hosting.
Many students on the profile list are currently on hold waiting for their host families to complete their applications and screenings. But more are on the way, according to international coordinators.
Why Aspect? Find out what the world holds for you and your family. You never know what the chance will provide.
