Host Family Application

Gulf Coast Diplomacy invites you to join the fun in hosting an exchange student for one - two weeks. 

We routinely host two to three youth projects a year and need to place them in homes. The youths are ages 15-18 and speak English. Occasionally, we need to place their adult mentor in a separate home as well. We keep everyone busy during the work week and ask you to share your life in the evenings and weekends.

This is a fun and enriching way to explore the world outside of Florida while sharing your life with international visitors! 

Please let us know if you would like to be considered as a host family.
