Host Families & ITD’s 40th Anniversary

ITD homestays offer international participants a day-long cross-cultural exchange with a local family. This component is part of many ITD programs, often leading to lasting international friendships. Homestay families frequently tell us how much they value staying in touch with their guests and even making reciprocal visits to their home countries. A typical homestay day involves sharing meals, exploring the local area, and exchanging cultural insights and traditions.
