Our outbound program offers students the chance to study and live abroad. Education Travel & Culture is dedicated to providing exceptional support for both students and host families through a network of local coordinators and dedicated staff.

We are seeking host families in Huntsville, AL, to host exchange students arriving in August 2024! Students come from various countries including Italy, France, Spain, Germany, Vietnam, Brazil, Turkey, Paraguay, and more.

The requirements to become a volunteer host family are simple:

All families can be great host families! We've hosted single moms, busy families with children, same-sex couples, empty nesters, and more. Can't commit to a full year or semester? Consider becoming a "Welcome Family" and host for 4-8 weeks to introduce the student to the U.S.!
