Does your family want to make the world a more empathetic place? Now's your chance! Open your home- and your heart- to international students visiting Portland for 2-4 weeks this summer. From 9 to 5 on weekdays, students will attend an English Language and American Culture Program at Portland State University or Pacific International Academy on the University of Portland campus. Students can take public transportation to commute between your home and the school. They are excited to spend evenings and weekends as part of an American family. You can host a high school student from 7/10-7/24 or 7/26-8/8, and/or a university student from 8/3-8/23, 8/10-8/30, or 8/17-9/6. Learn more here!

Hosting can help teach your children the value of cultural exchange and international friendships. Everyone should do it at least once! Orientation, 24/7 support, and a hosting stipend are provided. Ready to host? Apply here!
