Our host families are welcoming, friendly, usually middle class, and hand-picked by the World Endeavors team to ensure that placements provide a safe and positive environment for the participant. Housing accommodations are modest, safe, and clean, and often differ from Western norms in terms of space or amenities. World Endeavors host families are well known by our In-Country Coordinators and often have a long history with our organization. At the end of their programs, we ask participants to complete a survey to get valuable feedback on the host families and housing which shapes our future housing decisions.
