The host family inquiry forms tell us a little about you and the type of child you are hoping to host. Although not required, families who complete this form are generally contacted first when new children who match the family's request for a specific age and gender become available. If you would like to fill out our host inquiry form describing yourself and the type of child you are hoping to host, we will contact you should we have a child that fits the description. HOST INQUIRY FORM

During the sign-up period, pictures of children available to participate in our host program will be posted on a password protected picture page along with their ages.

Families interested in hosting must complete the password request form. You will be emailed the password. Do not share the password with others or post online.

In order to place a child on hold, contact our office. You will be sent instructions for completing the pre-application process. Children can be held only a short time and are not considered hosted until you complete all pre-application requirements and are approved by our organization.

After receiving and reviewing your pre-application, we will forward our full application packet to you which includes instructions, agreements, dates, fees, and deadlines for hosting.

All paperwork including home studies and clearance checks must be completed by the deadlines outlined in the application packet.

Please note that the final decision of matching a particular child with a host family is made by us. We understand that many families are hoping for a certain gender or age of child to host, but it is our responisbility to place each child in a host home that we feel would be the best fit for both child and family.

While we have identifed some children who are available to travel as part of our summer program, we are still completing a final list. Please submit a password request form or host inquiry form via the links below and you will be notifed once sign-ups officially begin.
