Host Families

Thank you for your interest in becoming a Host Family for My International Family! We are always looking for wonderful Host Families willing to become the cornerstone of a great American homestay experience for an international guest!

Becoming a Host Family for MIF means you will:

provide a welcoming, comfortable home to an international guest
assist your international guest as they navigate American customs and culture
embrace an international guest as a special member of your family, encouraging them to participate in your family’s daily life

Step 1: The first step to becoming a Host Family is to complete a Host Family Profile. The information you provide on your Host Profile allows the Homestay Coordinator to match you with in-coming guests.

Step 2: Once we receive your Host Family Profile, a Homestay Coordinator will be assigned to you. Your Coordinator will contact you within 2 business days to confirm we have received your Host Family Profile and continue the on-boarding process with you.

Step 3: Review, sign, and return the Host Family Agreement. This form outlines the roles and responsibilities of a MIF Host Family. If you have any questions relating to this form, your Coordinator will be happy to discuss these with you.

Step 4: Wait for a booking to come your way! Your Homestay Coordinator will contact you with prospective guest bookings for your consideration.

Step 5: Keep in touch! Let your Homestay Coordinator know of any changes that need to be noted on your Host Profile (phone number, email address, pets, family members, etc.).
