Each student in the program has a host family in Guilford. The families welcome the students into their homes for once-a-month weekend visits. The students participate in the family weekend activities and become more integrated into the community.

Deep and long-lasting relationships often develop between student and host family.

It is no small commitment to be a host family, and we note with grateful thanks the current Guilford families that have undertaken this role for the 2009/2010 year:

• Barbara and Doug Herr
• Andrea Collingwood and John Kelly
• Jeanne and John Mele
• Sarla Parikh
• Carolyn and Michael Durso-Smith
