To meet quality standards for Nacel Open Door hosting programs, comply with U.S. Department of State regulations for secondary student exchange programs, and most of all, to assure foreign parents that their children are placed in appropriate host families, all host families must be thoroughly screened and vetted. We are confident you would want the same assurance if a family in another country were hosting you or your child.

After selecting the program(s) for which you wish to host, each adult member of the host family household must complete the online authorization for a criminal background check.

Following the criminal background check, please complete Parts 1 and 2 of the Host Family Application, and submit your completed application.
