And it can be hard to feel part of the surrounding community. Our Host Family Club gives students the chance to experience a home away from home with a local family. Together, they share experiences and Christlike hospitality. Want to be matched with a host family? Click the button to fill out the form or contact hfcamu@gmail.com for more information. GET STARTED SHARE THE GIFT OF HOSPITALITY The families and students who participate in our Host Family Club make a difference in each other’s lives in simple yet powerful ways. It could be providing a home-cooked meal, sharing childhood memories or sending an inspirational card. The Host Family Club experience is something participants treasure. A Look intoHOST FAMILY CLUBWHY PARTICIPATE? Research shows that friendships within the local community often help students develop greater academic achievement and lower levels of stress. Your witness as a family who has lived and experienced life outside of college will greatly impact a student’s confidence to go into a world that sometimes seems overwhelming. At the same time, students have the opportunity to share their gifts with the local Ave Maria community. HOW DOES IT WORK? To accomplish the above goals, the program matches a member of the community with a student and encourages periodic communication, interaction, and meetings. Examples of activities shared by hosts and students include: professional or college athletic events, holiday celebrations, religious experiences, outings with families, or dinners at home or a restaurant.
