Benefits of the Program

Imagine living overseas from one to three months. You’ll be placed with a host family and you’ll share your knowledge of English in return for meals and accommodation. You’ll live like a local and become immersed in the culture. You’re not a tourist or a guest. You’re actually living as a member of that community.

You’ll learn the language and gain valuable international experience. You’ll learn a lot about yourself.

The experience can be beneficial in many different and valuable ways:

• Get to know how others live and come to see the world from another perspective
• Learn another language
• Test yourself and acquire independence and maturity
• Make new friends and appreciate old ones even more
• Give yourself a secure base from which to see other parts of the world
• Gain experience and judgement
• Learn about the world first hand
