Hosting a exchange student fosters lifelong friendships and deeper understanding of other cultures. It’s like gaining a new family member, you get to learn about another language and culture as well as share the beauty and culture of New Zealand.

By offering to act as a host family in a volunteer capacity (No board money is paid) you will provide an exchange student with the opportunity to study and experience life here in New Zealand.
Host families provide a bed, meals, as well as friendship, understanding, and a desire to share their kiwi way of life. All students speak English, are covered by medical insurance and have spending money for their personal expenses. They attend the high school/ college closest to their host family's home.

We know this is a big ask, it’s not for everyone, our families who are hosting get rewarded in so many other ways. Our own NZ students also have voluntary host families when they do their exchange in any one of our 26 countries.

SEANZ families are diverse! Traditional two-parent families (with or without children), single parents or adults, and retired couples all make wonderful host families.
If your family can offer a friendly supportive and caring home environment, contact us today.
