Educational Homestay Programs (EHP) is looking for caring volunteer host families to welcome students for a few weeks this summer.

More than 100 students from Germany, France and Italy will travel this August to Ocala to take cultural education and English language classes.

You will learn about your host student's customs and traditions as he or she discovers the culture, and lifestyle of the United States. Open your home to an EHP student and discover a world of learning and opportunity.

If you are able to provide a bed, three meals a day, transportation to and from the local course center (if applicable), and a caring environment, you have what it takes to host an international student! This experience will allow you to cultivate long-lasting friendships and promote cross-cultural connections in your community.

Prior to your student's arrival, you will be required to attend a Host Family Orientation. At this meeting you will learn important details about the program and meet the EHP staff that will be working with your students during their stay.

All students are also insured and carry pre paid round-trip airline tickets. They bring their own spending money for personal needs, souvenirs, entertainment and other incidentals.

Students who stayed with the families in the Villages got an exposure of how beautiful and how active that community is. Villagers make some of the best host families, we have time, compassion and so much experience to offer these kids.

You will:

Make International friends for life

Learn about another culture- from your own home
