150 students traveing with EF-Educational Homestay Programs fom France, Spain, Russia and Scandinavia are coming to Jacksonville and the surrounding areas July 2 through July 29th. We are looking for Volunteer Host Families who are willing to share their hearts and homes with a young person from another country. The students have studied English in school and are anxious to spend their summer learning first hand about American family life, culture and community. This educational experience is also an incredible cultural opportunity for your family!The students come fully insured and bring their own extra spending money. We ask that our host families provide a bed for the student (they do not need to have their own room), meals, transportation to and from a designated EF bus stop in your area as well as a welcoming family environment. The students will be occupied with English classes in the mornings at our course center and then they will enjoy fun activities in the afternoons. The local EF staff will be available to the Host Families 24 hours a day; 7 days a week during the students stay. Host Family members earn exciting travel opportunities. High School students can earn upto 60 Community Service hours (based on your schools requirements).
