Host families needed for international students Aug. 16-22
The university is expecting approximately 70 new international students this fall. They will be arriving on Aug. 15 to begin the international student orientation.
Rather than house these students in empty dorm rooms during orientation, we would like their first impressions to be with families who would be willing open their homes and show them the love of Christ. The home stays will be the nights of Aug. 16-22. Students will be in orientation during the days but would be free to be with the families the entire weekend of Aug. 18-19.
Families are asked to provide breakfast and dinner. Lunch will be provided on campus during orientation. We also ask families to provide transportation to George Fox between 8 and 8:30 a.m. and pick students up at approximately 5 p.m. Host families will receive a stipend to offset the costs of meals and transportation.
If you are interested in serving as a host family, please contact Alex Pia (apia@georgefox.edu). If you know of others who might be interested, please let us know so we may contact them.
Thank you for your willingness to consider this opportunity.
