What is hosting?
Hosting means sharing your culture and hospitality with an international student, scholar or professional. There are a wide variety of hosting opportunities from inviting an international visitor to your home for a family meal, to providing a place to stay during a week-long training program to a semester or academic year. A few hosting opportunities include:
- Sharing your home with a student for the school year or semester

- Hosting a scholar, professional or international visitor while they participate in training or exchange
- Expand your world by participating in short-term hosting options like:

- Meeting a group of participants out for dinner
- Picking up international participants at the airport
- Spending time with international visitors on the weekend
