gphomestay’s program is partnering with Mounds Park Academy and offering an incredible opportunity to families in St. Paul and surrounding areas. If you are interested in making a positive impact on the life of an international student and live within 30 minutes of MPA’s campus, you may want to consider becoming a host family.
We are currently fielding applications for immediate student placement as well as homestay families for the 2015-2016 academic year.
Host families will receive a monthly stipend of $800 and have access to 24/7 support from our local Residential Coordinator, Marilyn Shardlow (former MPA English teacher!). Marilyn can help coordinate meeting your student upon arrival, keep you connected with the school community, and mediate any issues that might arise.
Students come with their own insurance and spending money and stay for the academic year. There are also short-term hosting opportunities available if you aren’t able to commit to an entire semester or academic year!
Do you know someone who might be interested in hosting a student? For every approved host family that lists you as a reference on their application, you will be rewarded a $150 referral bonus!
Contact us at info@gphomestay.com or (781)996-0429 for more information, or fill out our Host Inquiry Form at https://www.gphomestay.com. Marilyn Shardlow can also answer your questions: feel free to email her at mshardlow@gphomestay.com or by phone at 651-341-2983.
