Interested in hosting a student this summer? Would someone you know be interested?
Youth For Understanding (YFU) has students coming from China from July 14-Aug 2. We are looking for host families in the DC area. YFU provides English classes and program activities for the students during the weekdays. Students would spend evenings and weekends with your family. You just provide a bed, three meals a day, access to public transportation (we’ll give them a pre-loaded SmarTrip card), and a place in your family! Families shouldn’t feel the need to entertain the student as they come curious about “normal life” here in the USA!
Contact Jenny Beth Aloys at jaloys@yfu.org or 202-774-5283 to see student profiles. Ask about our Welcome Family option or year-long program if the summer dates don’t work for you!
