Obviously, the family willing to accept an international student does expect something in return for their hospitality. WISE requires that each family wishing to participate in the program be carefully screened by a WISE Local Representative. Among the criteria for participation in the program are the financial ability to house and feed the student along with a willingness to share their lives with the student. By sharing your home and regular activities as a family you will provide a memorable and educational experience for a youth from abroad. Students come with their own spending money, medical insurance and are carefully screened for their maturity.
WISE programs occur throughout the year.
