Make an Impact This Thanksgiving!
Colleges and universities have many students* who are away from their families. This separation can be difficult for many students. Right@Home is an extended family program, which gives them the chance to experience family life during their stay at school.
Unlike traditional host family programs, students do NOT live with their hosts. By becoming involved in Right@Home, families can invite students into their lives and together enjoy a fun cross-cultural learning experience.
So if you’re ready to make an impact in the life of a student, start by hosting them this Thanksgiving. Our heart is that your family and the student will learn, grow, and have fun spending time together during this special holiday and beyond!
*Designed for international and out-of-state college students.

Frequently Asked Questions
Some questions you may have as a host:
You decide! We encourage you to start by hosting this Thanksgiving by clicking here. But our heart and hope for you is to build relationship. Perhaps you can arrange to meet every month or two at mutually convenient times. For these activities, the host will provide transportation for the student to and from campus. The host and student may even choose to extend the relationship beyond that academic year (e.g., until the student graduates, or for another academic year).
Individuals, married couples, and families who are members of Christ Church are all encouraged to become Host Families.
Because Right@Home is a volunteer program based totally on mutual agreement between families and students, you and your student are responsible for your own safety. If you don’t feel comfortable with the student or family, please let us know as soon as possible.
