Accepting Host Family Applications for 2019-2020
|
|
|
It's that time of year again! We are looking for 18+ host families for our interns in the 2019-2020 school-year. As a host family you gain a new, unique friendship and learning experience by welcoming an intern from a Spanish speaking country into your home. Additionally, your child will benefit from extra practice and help with their Spanish language skills.
We are adding some flexibility to the hosting duration with the addition of a half-year option. This will allow us to make better family/intern matches as well as potentially improve the experience for both interns and families.
If you are interested, please refer to the
FAQ's for more information, then complete the
Amity Intern Host Family Application and send it to
amity@puestadelsolpta.org.
All applications for the 2019-2020 academic year must be received by April 26, 2019. However, we will continue to collect applications until we achieve our goal and/or establish a wait-list.
