Host Families

We are looking for families who are open and eager to share cultural experiences with international students by becoming host families.
UC Riverside International Education Programs offers high quality English instruction for students and professionals and is one of the largest English programs in the University of California system. Classes are attended by students from all over the world.
Host families are an integral part of extending language and cultural instruction from the classroom to the family home.
Host families provide international students with housing, meals and transportation to and from UC Riverside. They receive compensation for these services.
To become a host family, or to learn more, call (951) 827-4423 or e-mail hostfamily@ucx.ucr.edu
