Open Your Heart and Home: Hosting a LEX Visitor

Welcoming a visitor from another country into your home can be a wonderful experience for the entire family. LEX offers the opportunity to host not only students, but also adults, couples and families with small children. Stays in your home can range from 1-2 weeks to a month, or even a year! Host families vary greatly in size, background, occupation, and interests. Individuals and couples are welcome to host as well.  What makes a good host family is a willingness to share your lives with a new family member and a taste for the adventure of mutual discovery.  ​Please contact us at [email protected] or (617) 354-1140 for more information.
Volunteer to Host
Adult and family exchange
I think learning about another culture is amazing and everyone should try it.  In the end, you learn we are all alike.

Youth exchange
Youth homestay from Mexico
It has been a great lesson in "demystifying" visitors from a foreign land.  I think our whole family is more open to new things as a result.
Young leaders
Our daughter's curiosity about other cultures grew with enormous intensity after hosting a Japanese visitor.
