International Focus has openings throughout the year for triangle area residents interested in interacting with people from other countries. We are looking for people who would like to host international guests in their home for a casual dinner, a weekend or an extended stay of several weeks.
Our guests are usually fluent in English. They are here for academic programs that run from 2 days to 3 weeks. Transportation to their daily sessions is provided by International Focus.
Throughout the stay, host families usually voluntarily comingle some meals, attend events, and participate in cultural and recreational activities.
