Ever thought about hosting a student?
Hi Neighbours, are you interested in bringing a new culture into your home? Host an AFS Global Prep student, experience another culture, and share your culture in return. Students arrive in July and we need friendly Wellington families.
Global Prep programmes give 15 to 18-year olds opportunities to focus on projects such as sustainability, conservation and human rights. The student will attend activities during the day.
Families are paid $300 a week towards any expenses and provide accommodation and meals.
If you’re interested, please click here, or call 0800 600 300 or email Joanna.holm@afs.org.
