From press release:
Gphomestay and Carolina Day School in Asheville are working together to provide a unique cultural opportunity to families in Asheville and the surrounding areas. If you are interested in making a positive impact on the life of an international student and live within 30 minutes of the school, you may want to consider becoming a host family!
We have five students arriving on August 16th and we are in need of two more host families. If interested, you can fill out our application at gphomestay.com/Application.html.
Host families receive a monthly stipend of $800 and have access to ongoing support from a local Residential Coordinator who can help with coordinating meeting your student upon arrival, keeping you connected with the school community, and mediating issues if they arise.
Students come with their own insurance and spending money and typically stay for the academic year. There are also short-term hosting opportunities available. We ask that host families provide three meals a day, transportation to and from school (carpooling is also acceptable), and a private bedroom for their student.
Hosting a student is truly a life changing experience. Your family will get to experience a new culture in your own home, while helping an international student adjust to life in America. Become a global citizen by hosting an international student!
