BECOMING AN IPERC HOST FAMILY
Hosting an international student is one of the most rewarding experiences that you and your family can have. Learning about the language and customs of another culture is a priceless gift that is shared between the host family and their exchange student. During the homestay experience, both parties gain a deeper understanding of how culture varies across the world and form valuable lifelong friendships.
IPERC is always seeking qualified families to provide a safe and nurturing home environment for international high school students attending schools in North America. If you have room in your heart and in your home to become a host family, we'd be thrilled to have you join the IPERC family.
Each IPERC host family will be assigned a local coordinator who will conduct host family orientations and be available to aid families through every step of the homestay experience. Participating families will also be offered a monthly stipend (amount varies by location) to offset the added living expenses and cover the student's participation in family activities.
