Category: Expectations

Host families are expected to involve the children in an active, nurturing environment, and provide them with their basic necessities while they are here. In addition to family/vacation activities, families must attend weekend events that bring all families and host children together. 

Children often arrive with limited items. We ask host families to provide basic clothing and hygiene items for their host child.
