Welcome to International Cross-cultural Committee (ICC)! We are so
glad that you have decided to do a homestay through ICC while you
are attending college in the U.S. For the past 20 years, ICC has sent
students to the U.S. from Japan to join in a special business + internship
program and has arranged the homestays for over 1,000 students. We
now feel that it is time to extend our homestay program to other international
students. Our many wonderful hostfamilies are excited about opening
their hearts and homes to students from other countries and cultures.
Living with an American hostfamily is a wonderful opportunity to truly
learn about American culture, expand your English ability, and make
friends that will last a lifetime. There are a variety of different
kinds of hostfamilies from singles to couples to families! All are
there to offer you support and a unique and exciting experience during
your stay in the States.
Many hostfamilies have been with ICC for years. We do not rely heavily
on advertising for hostfamilies, but instead have obtained new families
through referrals from current hostfamilies. Through this network
and our application, interview, and background check process, we are
confident you will find yourself in a safe homestay environment. Your
detailed application helps us to match you with a hostfamily that you will
feel comfortable with.
We look forward to receiving your application soon and meeting you
at the airport! Please feel free to contact our office anytime. We
will be waiting to hear from you!
