- Our Homestay Manager visits and interviews each family upon intake into our program as well as regular inspections
- Every homestay family participates in annual, mandatory homestay training
- Our office maintains regular, open communication with each family and vice versa
- All of our homestay families are part of a network that help and support each other
- Each homestay family has access to International Programs staff emergency cell phone numbers
- Our participating families are allowed to collect only the approved monthly fees for room and board
