Okanagan College Looking For Families to Host International Students

Are you interested in sharing a unique Kelowna experience with an eager tourist and student?

Okanagan College is looking for interested Kelowna-area families to spend a part of their summer or early fall entertaining some international students.

Okanagan College’s International Education Department Homestay Program has officially begun, and now program organizers are looking for families to host students between one and four weeks during the months of July, August, and September.

Homes on the Kelowna side of the bridge are preferred and must be on a good bus route.

Other home requirements include:

  • Pre arrival host meeting
  • Airport pickup and drop off
  • Provide three meals plus snacks per day
  • Private room with comfortable bed
  • Occasional ride to/from school or events

Host families will be compensated with approximately $25 per student, per day. For more information about hosting or to check out an application form, visit the Okanagan College website.
