Welcome family or local coordinator<\/h1>\n


Have you never been a host family before, or are you curious to see what it\u2019s like? Then you can be a welcome family! This involves welcoming a student when the student first arrives in your home country for a minimum of 3 months. The student will then move on to another host family. Fill in our notification of interes<\/a>t and we will contact you for more information. Of course, your notification of interest is non-binding.<\/p>\n

Are you interested in working as our extended arm and being an STS representative in your area? As a local coordinator, you will have regular contact and be available for one or more exchange students and their host families and schools. This role is ideal for anyone interested in young people and international exchange. It works well alongside studies or work. Read more and apply to become a local coordinator here<\/a>.
