GOT A SPARE ROOM AND A BIG HEART?
Would you like to make a meaningful difference in a young person's life?
We are currently seeking kind, welcoming families to host international high school students. Hosting is a wonderful way to share your culture, build lasting connections, and support a student's journey in Australia.
Families receive a weekly allowance of $369 to assist with hosting costs. However, the true reward lies in the relationships formed and the cultural exchange experienced.
If your family is passionate about helping young people thrive, we would love to hear from you.
