INTERESTED IN BECOMING A HOST FAMILY?
A 12th international student, Idaira D. with CIEE, is currently attending St. Catherine’s and needs a new host family. She speaks good English and has her own medical insurance as well as her own spending money to cover personal expenses.
A volunteer host family simply puts another plate on the table and welcomes the student as one of their own! Host families can be retired, single parents, couples with or without children of any age, etc. Idaira’s current host family has some unexpected personal matters they need to deal with and they really want her to find a great family!
