WHO MAKES A GOOD HOST FAMILY? The US is known for its diversity and we’re proud our host families are as diverse as the US itself. Host families come in all shapes and sizes. They are multi-ethnic, single, married, gay, straight, with children, without children, with pets, without pets, in cities and on farms. We encourage our students to be open-minded, to not let stereotypes develop expectations for them and to embrace the unique diversity of our families. YFU values the individuality of each and every participant and we treat everyone with kindness, respect and dignity. At YFU, our volunteers and staff are focused on creating positive exchange experiences for all our students, families and communities. 6 - YFU Hosting
