Host Families Needed!

Want to make a difference in a young persons life? Interested in bringing different cultures and languages into your home? Well, we have something very special to share with you!  
 
Educational Homestay Programs, a non-profit language travel division of EF Education First is bringing 17 high school age students to the Mashpee area this summer for 2.5 weeks.  
 
The students are from Shanghai, China, and are traveling here to improve their English and experience American family life.  
 
They will arrive on July 18th and depart on August 4th. We are in need of families in the Groton area to host the students while they are in New England learning about our culture and customs.  
 
The students are busy all day in English classes and local, afternoon activities.  Evenings and most weekends is time spent with their host family. We are looking for families to provide a bed, meals, transportation to and from Mashpee High School in the mornings and evenings (M-F) and a warm nurturing environment.
