Host Families

Our Host Family Program is a great way for students who do not live in homestays to enjoy the benefits of knowing an American family.

The Host Family Program connects ELI students with Americans who are interested in meeting and helping foreign students. Host Families invite students into their home to share a meal, take you to local events or on day trips in the area and generally try to make you feel at home during your stay in Newark. They enjoy meeting students for a wide variety of activities, such as sporting events, community activities, and holiday celebrations.

If you are not living in a homestay and are interested in getting a Host Family, please email Nancy Purcell (rtp3@aol.com), the Host Family Coordinator.
