Would you like to be paid to host an international student?
Hi Neighbours, we need your help!
Here at AFS Intercultural Programmes, we are looking for some friendly families to host a few of our international students coming to Wellington for three weeks in July/August.
These high-school-aged students are coming from all around the world to Wellington to take part in our Global Prep Programme: Sustainability and the Environment. Hosting one of these students would give you the unique opportunity to experience a whole new culture from the comfort of your own home! Plus, we’ll pay you $300 per week to host them.
We're looking for families who can host students from the 14th of July to the 4th of August as this is when the programme takes place. If you are interested in hosting or would like to learn more, please get in touch with us by email, joanna.holm@afs.org , or calling us on 0800 600 300.
We look forward to hearing from you!

Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? 🛻🚨🚓
In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?
What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?
-
35.4% The sting of a fine (Money talks!)
-
64.6% The threat of demerit points (Nobody wants to lose their license!)
Poll: Are you still heading to your local for your caffeine fix, or has the $$ changed your habits? ☕
Wellington’s identity is built on its cafe culture, but with costs climbing, that culture is under pressure. We’ve seen the headlines about recent closures, and it’s a tough pill to swallow along with a $6+ coffee.
We all want our favourite spots to stay open, but we also have to balance our own budgets ⚖️
We want to know: How are you handling the "coffee math" in 2026? Are you still heading to your local for a chat and a caffeine fix, or has the cost of living changed your habits?
Keen to read more about "coffee math"? The Post has you covered.
-
46.3% I avoid spending money on coffee
-
44.3% I still indulge at my local cafe
-
9.4% Irrelevant - coffee is not for me

How much does it cost to join AEA?
There are no dues or fees for joining AEA or attending AEA meetings. We are self-supporting through our own voluntary contributions. At some point during each meeting we pass the basket to help cover expenses, such as the cost of rent and literature. Members are not obliged to contribute, but we usually do so to the extent we are able.
