Open Your Home to an International Student and Receive a Stipend!
Do you have a loving family and a spare room available at your home? Invite an international student to stay with you this year during his or her high school experience in the U.S.
*OR* refer someone you know, and you can receive a referral bonus when they are approved to host!
We seek qualified host families to provide a safe and nurturing home environment for international high school students attending local private high schools from abroad.
The students have their own insurance and spending money. The family should speak English at home and ensure that the student eats 3 nutritious meals per day. Being able to involve the student in family events and activities is a big plus.
We will provide you with host family training and 24-7 emergency support throughout the school year, as well as regular group activities for you and the student to share with other participating families.
If you would like to take advantage of this unique opportunity to make a difference in a young person's life with an enriching intercultural experience for your family, please respond by providing a brief description of your home and why it would make a great place for the student to stay during the year. You may also fill out the application if you are ready to take the next step:

Even if you are unable to host a student, perhaps you know someone who may have an interest. We will provide you with a referral bonus for each family you refer to gphomestay who we approve to host! We are searching for qualified host families throughout the country, so do not feel restricted to only recommend hosts within your neighborhood.
