During the 3 week period of Spanish classes, the program will provide Chilean host families for all participants.  The host family environment is a great way for participants to:

• Practice their Spanish
• Integrate into the community
• Learn first-hand about Chile’s people and culture

These families come in all forms, and live all around the city of Santiago. A host family may consist of:

• A married couple with children
• An older couple whose children have left home
• A single mother
• Young professionals without children

In general, host families consist of any arrangement of individuals who have applied to receive a volunteer and are eager to share their culture with a foreigner.

Families will provide food for all meals that are eaten at home (meals that are eaten during program activities will be provided by Spanish in Chile), as well as a private room for participants.
