How to Become a Host Family

The Rocky Mountain International Student Program is seeking host families for September 2026. Hosting an international student is a unique opportunity to experience a new culture, share different perspectives and build lifelong global friendships - without leaving home!

Our families often say the experience also enriches their family life and allows them to show off the beauty and great lifestyle in their communities.

Families receive a monthly stipend to help cover hosting expenses, and 24/7 support from our team of Homestay Coordinators. All that’s needed is a private bedroom, and a warm, welcoming home where a student can feel included in everyday life. Please contact our homestay team at info@rminternational.ca / 250-427-2245 / www.rmisp.ca/homestay or join one of our upcoming virtual information sessions to learn more!
