Host families sought for visiting children from China and Korea

International education company Education First is seeking families in Monterey County to host children ages 10-13 from China and Korea for a few weeks from July 28 – August 16. There will be a weekly stipend of $100 for each Host Family and 24/7 support. Students will be involved in education and other activities from 8:30 am – 5:30 pm Monday – Friday and can be dropped at one of many bus stops. They will also take a field trip to Los Angeles on one of the weekends.

There is a special Host Family orientation at the Portola Plaza Hotel, after a home visit has been made, on July 24 from 2:30 p.m. – 4:00 p.m.

Host families get a chance to have a unique cultural experience and showcase their community to the visiting students. They will also play an important part in the students' cultural experiences abroad. Students come here in hopes of improving their English skills through language courses and by speaking with their host families on a daily basis.

To host a child or for more information about Education First, call Russell Stearns at 831-205-9729 or email russell.stearns@ef.com.
