Interested in being a GO Host
Family?
An exchange
program with a difference.
Hello,
and thank you for your interest in hosting an international student through
the Global Outreach program. By opening your heart and home, you will give
an exceptional young person an experience of a lifetime – to live with an
American family and experience the language, customs, culture and faith life
of our country.

The unique vision
of Global Outreach is that it is a response to a dramatic historic
opportunity – the unexpected collapse of communism in Eastern and Central
Europe. In an effort to help the formerly persecuted Church there in it’s
efforts to “rebuild from the bottom up,” Global Outreach invites highly
qualified students, primarily from Catholic secondary schools, to spend an
academic year in the U.S. Catholic high schools. As
a host family, your responsibilities would include providing room and board for
your student, accepting him/her as a member of your family (not a guest) by
including him/her in your daily life and routines, and supporting him/her in
achieving the objectives of the Global Outreach program. Throughout the year,
Global Outreach staff will be in regular contact with you and your student to
provide any support either or both of you might need. We are always here for
you. If
you are interested in finding out more about hosting a GO student, please feel
free to contact me at the address or phone number listed below. Otherwise,
you can click on the links below for an application, and the application
materials. Please note that your application and/or request for further
information does not commit you to hosting a student, nor do they confirm
placement of a student in your home.
I look forward to
hearing from you and your family.
God bless,
Mary Piette
