living with a host family living with a host family
Host families are carefully interviewed and screened by the local coordinator staff of our partner organizations, Mondes Nouveaux and CEI/Club des 4 Vents. Host families are volunteers who have expressed their desire to share their culture and daily life with our students. CIEE defines hosts as single parents, couples with or without children, or retired persons, without restriction as to race, color, religion, economic status, or geographical location. We ask that you be open minded about your host family placement. We trust our partners abroad to match you to your host family. Only in exceptional situations will host family placements be changed prior to departure.
