The Host Family Program

The Host Family Program (HFP) provides new international students with continuing friendships and involvement with families in the United Sates. It was developed to offer hospitality to international students by a group of community residents. Both students and host families can have the enriching experience of a cultural exchange and gain a new perspective about the world. Anyone can be a host family: A retired couple, a large family group, a newly-wed couple, or a single individual. The only pre-requisite is the desire to make an international student feel comfortable in a strange and new setting. Contact Rhona Goldman, Director of the program, for additional information: rhonamg@optonline.net
