Education First Educational Homestay Programs (EHP) is now accepting caring volunteer host families who are ready to welcome students into their home for a few weeks this summer.

From July 16 – Aug. 5, host families on the Eastside will welcome 34 EHP students. EHP students will attend language and culture classes and enjoy planned activities during weekdays. Weekends will be free for host families to enjoy discounted activities with their students while building long lasting cross-cultural bonds. Families also earn travel rewards and discounts through this program and children of host families can earn community service credit.

Families able to provide a room, meals and a stable caring environment, have what it takes to share their life with an eager student from abroad this summer. Host family sign-ups close on May 31.
