Welcome a cultural student into your home

Why not volunteer to host a cultural student?

It’s an interesting, fun, and rewarding way to bring another culture to your family without actually having to leave home!

The programs are only short in duration, but it’s amazing how quickly you can learn a language, discover new cultures, and make new friendships with overseas students that can last a lifetime!

Hosting a student is also a great way for Australians and Kiwis to prepare for their own overseas adventures by fine tuning their language skills, pronunciation, geographic knowledge and understanding of local customs.

The Joy of Hosting

Hosting a student is also a great way for Australians and Kiwis to prepare for their own overseas adventures by fine tuning their language skills, pronunciation, geographic knowledge and understanding of local customs. You may also experience other benefits including:

1. Increase your knowledge: Find out more about yourself, your family and way of life.

2. Learn about the world: Discover more about a certain country and culture.

3. Make new friends: Host families and students often build special bonds.
