Host families needed for Friendship Family Program

Host families needed for Friendship Family Program

Host families are needed for the Friendship Family Program, which is an opportunity for international students to experience American life – to create an extended family through social bonds, bringing the members together through communication, daily activities, outings, sports, etc. It is also an opportunity for Americans to have cross-cultural experiences and learn information about different countries and cultures from natives of those places. The objective is for international students to see a typical U.S. home. Students do not stay within the home, but participate in activities and outings. Residents in the F-M area are encouraged to participate as a host family. We have 10 international students needing families at the moment. If you are interested please contact us as soon as possible. We will host our semester potluck picnic on the 12th of September from 4:30pm to 7:30pm.
