yes loads of contacts, try accommodation office for local university. They need to be police checked and approved. Lots of English language schools use our facilities out of term time.  Would this be like the US Ambassador programme?

Find your local rotary site. They are a wonderful program to go with, they were the best one i've used. The people you meet are amazing and they do a good job of setting it up so that you change families and settings enough to get a good feel for the life and culture there. They also, unlike some other choices, keep in good touch with you and follow up to see how your doing and if you need anything. They were also the cheapest I found, your cost is really your plane ticket, then they give you a number of things to take, as well as pay you a monthly allowance while you are in your host country.

Check with your local University and see if they have any exchange programs going on or study abroad programs.  I lived in Germany for 12 years and I sponsored an exchange student.  Good luck!

Look for a university in an English-speaking country that offers homestay programs and specialized language courses.  I would suggest going to the UK, the USA or Canada.  I can recommend the program below:

There are people from Zimbabwe whom I'd be happy to help or have as neighbors.  Kirsty Coventry, for example.  But I would rather that MOST of them stay out of Australia.  Look at you: you can't spell "school" correctly, or punctuate sentences properly, or capitalize the names of months or the first person pronoun in the nominative case.  And you want to attend an Aussie university? Ha! Go home!

I make money working out of my house with AYUSA International. I place exchange students from other countries with host families in my area. They live with these families while they attend high school here for one year. I am what is called a community rep. I do have to go look at peoples houses and meet the students when they come in but other than that thre is no office and almost everything is done over the phone and through the internet. You make your own schedule and it's really not alot of work at all. The families get to choose what students they want and from what countries. And you really dont have to go look for families to do this. Most of the famlies come from leads from the main website. They apply to be a host family and then a regional director calls you and gives you their information. So it's not like you have to go around asking people if they want a teenager from another country living with for a year. It's a pretty cool program. You get to meet people from all over the world.  You make about $500.00 over the course of the school year per every student you place. So it's not something to use as your only source of income but it's nice to have on the side. It's not a scam and you dont have to pay anything to be apart of it. Here is the link to their website there is a place at the bottom that say's something like be a rep. Click on that. http://www.ayusa.org/ Hope this would be something that would interest you or I hope you find something that does, if this does not. Good luck!

I've hosted several exchange students, mostly girls from Europe.  They are here to experience our culture, so I try to pick activities that best exemplify the American culture.  That being said, most of my students really enjoyed participating in simple family rituals, like in our house shopping for groceries and preparing meals.  They also enjoyed introducing us to some of their traditional meals.  \n\nI also have a creative time with each of my students.  We make a handcrafted gift for their parents that I either send home for them or if it is small enough is packed with their luggage.  I always put a thank-you note along with it expressing our appreciation for them sharing their child with us and how much we enjoyed having her.\n\nAs for excursions, we try to pick historical sites of interest or uniquely representative attractions over pure entertainment.  We live in SoCal, so we took our last student to Old Town San Diego, San Simeon, historic Daley Ranch, the Hotel del Coronado, Wild Animal Park, San Pasqual Battlefield and the Huntington Library and Gardens.  It helps the student learn about the area, the history and more than what the media portrays American to be about.\n\nHave fun with her, it will be a rewarding experience for the both of you!  We were actually invited to visit one of our students for a wonderful month in France where we met her family and had a taste of what her world is like!

Talk to the advisors in the center for international students at the two schools you are talking about.  They will explain how to do this.
