What are the requirements for being a host family?
Host families are as different and diverse as Americans themselves. They come from all ethnic, racial, economic, and religious backgrounds. There is no typical host family: families with teenagers, no children, young children, children who are grown, single parents and grandparents. They live in large cities, suburban areas, on farms and ranches, or in small communities. Host families do all have a common trait, however – the willingness to open their hearts to a student and provide room, board, love, guidance, and the experience of what everyday life is like in America.
