Amity Intern Host Families Needed!!!
Supporting five intern positions for one school year requires up to 20 families. But as families graduate out
of the MGIS and MSL programs we need to find new families able to host an intern for a 9-week period.
Families who have hosted in the past have found the experience very rewarding, benefited from learning
more about the German culture, and having a native speaker able to regularly interact with their children to
increase their language skills.
If you don't have the ability to host, or are not able to meet the program's requirements, you can recommend
the opportunity to a family member or family of a classmate. An Amity Host Family FAQ is available by clicking here.
