Become a host family in Mönchengladbach

The non-profit organization ASTUR has been involved in intercultural exchange and educational programs since 1986. We provide reliable, professional and personal support to international young people during their stay in Germany.

For our programs in Mönchengladbach, we are looking for committed host families for high school, language and short-term programs (from a few days to a school year). The young people attend a school here or take part in an organized programme.

We guarantee for our host families

- Careful selection and preparation of participants

- Individual matching between host family and student

- Personal contact person including 24/7 emergency contact

- Organization of the school place (for high school and language programs)

- Insurance cover

- An appropriate expense allowance

Host families thus make an important contribution to international understanding and enable young people to gain valuable educational and life experience in Germany.

As a host family, you play a central role in intercultural exchange and accompany a young person in their everyday life.

Your tasks:

- Provision of your own furnished room

- Full board

- Integration into everyday family life

- Orientation and support on site

Important to us:

- Openness towards other cultures

- Speaking German in everyday life

- Participation in selection interview and house viewing

Host families can be couples, families or single people - the decisive factors are reliability and interest in the exchange.

A friendly home, hospitality and German as the main language in the household.

The commitment as a host family is flexible because ASTUR offers very different programs for students from all over the world. A host family can be involved for anything from a few days to an entire school year.

ASTUR generally compensates the host families for their expenses for all projects.
