Every Summer…
New York City children, ages 8 – 14, visit volunteer host families who live in rural, suburban, and small town communities along the East Coast. Host families apply and go through a rigorous screening process that includes an in-home interview and background check.
Is your child excited to learn to swim, build sandcastles at the beach, ride a bike or camp out? We ask our host families to tell us all the fun activities they will do so we can make the best match for each child. Many children form close friendships with their host families and return to the same host family year after year.
