Become A Host Family For A French Student
Host Families are needed in the Brandon, Valrico, Riverview and Tampa areas from Friday, July 7 through Thursday, July 27.
Host Families have varied reasons for participating in this amazing cultural exchange opportunity. Some have traveled extensively, but others simply love foreign language and culture. Others see the hosting experience as one that will expose their children to international people, ideas, and language.
Host Families come from both the city and the suburbs and may be working, stay-at-home, or retired families. Most host families have teenagers at home, but many have younger children or no children, and still make excellent hosts.
Trips are planned twice a week to include theme parks, shopping, beaches and picnics. Most of all they have the chance to learn some of our culture, improve on their English and making lasting friendships with you and your family.
All students come with their own monies and trips already paid for; all we ask is that you provide them with a bed to sleep on and involve them in your family activities.
Please call or 449-3308 or email ecitampa@hotmail.com.for more info or if you are able to host.
