The Host-A-Coach Program pairs local families with international coaches in the hopes of easing their assimilation into the United States. All of our coaches are carefully selected at interview based on their vibrant personalities and can-do attitudes as well as their coaching experience and educational background. We ask that all coaches and host families complete an application pack so that we can match the right coach to the right family.

There are 2 main time-scales that families can host. The majority of our staff require hosting for the duration of the spring, summer & fall periods. We also have staff who require hosting for the fall period only. Preference is always given to those families who can commit to the full duration of the coaches stay to provide consistency for both the coaches and the families. There are however some opportunities to host year round as well as short term hosting opportunities. 

All host families receive MPS credit to be used against any MPS league program or Summer Camp.

 Testimonials

“As a parent, hosting has been a great opportunity for cultural exchange for the kids.  Becca has been part of our family for the past 5 months, and will now always be part of our family.  She has become like a daughter to us and a big sister and role model to our three daughters.”
