“For those of you on the fence about hosting an intern...go for it! We have hosted 4 interns so far. The experience has brought us great memories and a lot of happiness. Making new human connections is what life is all about!”

“It was fun hosting in the Fall and introducing our interns to life in Minnesota - especially the spectacle that is the Minnesota State Fair! We’ve hosted three times and we have had a variety of experiences. We were able to visit Chloe in France a couple of summers ago and it was a highlight of our trip!”

“Our family hosted for the first time in the fall of 2019. If I said we weren’t anxious prior to our intern’s arrival, I would be lying. That feeling, however, was short-lived as we became acquainted with our intern and quickly began forming bonds with her that I am confident will last a lifetime. ”

“We’ve hosted 3 times and have loved the experience for our family. It is such a joy to introduce someone to our school, our community and our personal lives. For me, it’s also watching my children develop their own relationship with the intern and using it as a teaching moment about boundaries, sharing our traditions, cultural experiences and looking for fun, new ideas!”
