Host Family | EF High School Exchange Year

There is no ‘typical’ host family. Our families represent the diversity of American culture and we encourage families of all shapes and sizes to host. We welcome families with small children, grown children, single parents, grandparents, families without children, same sex couples and more!

All of our host families are volunteers. In addition to this being a J-1 visa requirement, we’ve found that volunteer families truly enjoy the experience of hosting and are caring, open-minded people who want to learn more about other cultures while sharing theirs with a student from across the globe. While we love working with all different kinds of families, we do have some basic eligibility requirements.

This opportunity is for the Fall Semester / Spring Semester/ Full School Year. If you’re interested, call/text 210-587-5457 or send us an email and we’ll get back to you with more details.
