Applications open for host families this fall

Posted: Aug 18th, 2025

Sister Cities of Greenfield is looking for four families to host an adult guest from Kakuda, Oct. 6-9, 2025.

As a host family, the most important responsibility you will have is to welcome the visitor into your home and allow them to see what home life is like for the American family. While in your home, you will be providing meals for the guest and transportation to and from the designated location each day. Many times, families collaborate on transportation and other responsibilities during the visit, so please do not let that prohibit you from applying to host.

Applications must be submitted via this form by Sept. 7, 2025. If you have any questions regarding the application or hosting process, please email Lyndi Grubb at scofgreenfield@gmail.com Although we have a Sept. 7 deadline, applications are welcome and appreciated at any time. There will be an orientation meeting for all host families at the end of September 2025, with the date to be determined by early September. An adult member of your family is required to attend this meeting. Additionally, all members of your household over the age of 18 will need to complete a background check. The link to do this will be provided once you are accepted to host.

We look forward to hearing from you and watching your families enjoy a unique visit from our very special guests from Kakuda. Thank you again for your willingness to play such an important role in our exchange program. We could not do it without you!
