The American Homestay Network will launch the first national-scale, standards-based homestay organization in America and is looking for host families in the Covington and Maple Valley area for international students.
The American Homestay Network (AHN-USA) has been created to address a growing demand for hosted accommodations for visiting international students.
Nearly 20 percent of the 800,000 students coming to America would prefer to stay with a host family. An existing fragmented industry of homestay companies cannot meet the growing requirements of the international student market.
AHN-USA is bringing to America the best-practices and technologies deployed by their affiliates at the highly acclaimed Australian Homestay Network.
Hosts are provided with training, support, insurance and paid a generous hosting fee.
The company will initially begin operations in Washington State and is currently recruiting host families to share their homes, interests, and culture with a visiting student.
The American Homestay Network (AHN-USA) was created to bring a new level of best practices in service offerings, operations and technology to hosted homestay programs for visiting international students.
AHN-USA is committed to setting a new global standard for student homestay in America. Through its business relationships with the Australian Homestay Network, global insurers, banks and national emergency response partners the company offers an unprecedented collection of comprehensive services.
The company is a member of NAFSA: Association of International Educators and AWISA: Association of Washington International Student Affairs.
