WE SUPPORT OUR HOSTS, SO YOU CAN THRIVE!
At Cambridge Network, we know that our host community is the foundation of our family. That’s why we’re proud to offer you all the support you need to thrive.
Once you join the Cambridge Network family and are successfully paired with a student, our multilingual and multicultural support staff facilitates communication between your family and your student’s natural parents to introduce you to each other. This multilingual staff is available to support you throughout your student’s stay.
Next, you’ll participate in a brief training program to prepare for your student’s arrival.
Once your new family member arrives, you will receive an in-person check-in from your local Cambridge Network staff member. This staff member will serve as the point-person for all your basic questions and needs and will provide ongoing support to you and your family throughout the student’s stay. Moreover, the coordinator will conduct regular check-ins, via phone and in-person, as well as organize exciting events and activities for you and your international student with other hosts and students in the area.
Additionally, Cambridge Network supports all hosts by providing a monthly stipend to offset the costs incurred by adding another person to the home.
Finally, we are proud to have been approved as an educational services provider by The Council on Standards for International Travel (CSIET). CSIET, an organization that establishes standards for international programs at the high school level, acknowledges Cambridge Network’s commitment to providing a safe and accommodating homestay experience.
