Can young children benefit from hosting?
Many of the students accepted into the program indicate an interest in being placed in families with small children. As long as the student is not asked to share a room with any child under 12 years of age, these arrangements work well. It’s best, too, when the student has some privacy and a quiet place to study. Children of all ages will gain a broader perspective on the world, learning more about geography, communication, and international cultures. Young children usually love having a big brother or sister from another country!
