Mission Statement
Our mission is to connect the world's cultures through home stay experiences.
BeGlobal Foundation provides home stay programs for international students. At BeGlobal we believe the home stay experience is the best way for both visiting students and host families to gain exciting new cultural perspectives.
Description
BeGlobal Foundation is a nonprofit public benefit corportion and operartes as a charitable organization under Section 501(c)(3) of the U.S. Internationl Revenue Code of 1986.
BeGlobal Foundation collaborates with GPI US, which has been coordinating an array of quality educational programs throughout the United States.
The Host Family Experience
By hosting BeGlobal students, host families gain intercultural experiences and global perspectives in the comfort of their own home.
Through a home stay experience, host families introduce visiting students to American culture and lifestyle. In turn, the family is exposed to the culture of their students' home country and the potential for developing life changing and long lasting relationships.
BeGloabl Program Schedule
BeGlobal programs typically last for one to two weeks.
On weekday mornings, students participate in English as a Second Language (ESL) classes, and attend specially designed activities in the afternoon.
On weekends, host families are encouraged to involve the visiting students in their regular family weekend activities.
