Host Family

Make A Difference In A Students’ Life By Becoming a Host Family!

Host families play a vital role in students’ academic and personal growth! At Sage Global, we understand that it takes tremendous courage and generosity to invite a student from a different country into your home. Our team is dedicated to helping host families and students navigate any cultural and language barriers.

Our goal is to help students acclimatize while making host families feel confident and comfortable at the same time. Each students’ assigned local manager is on-call at all times to answer any questions and assist with any concerns you may have. Host families also receive a generous monthly stipend for hosting our students. Sage Global has zero tolerance for discrimination and welcomes families from all backgrounds!
