Onboarding New, Move or Replacement Host Families

Onboarding New, Move or Replacement Host Families

Check out this helpful guide to On-boarding New, Move & Replacement Host Families, designed to guide volunteers through the process of welcoming a family that may have come to hosting later in the cycle or become a replacement family. Easy to run through for any volunteer even if they are not familiar with the Host Family Orientation material, this guide covers topics such as

  • The student support process
  • Orientations throughout the year
  • Host Family expectations
  • AFS Rules
  • Medical Coverage
  • Student travel while on program

Whether printed and discussed during an in-person meeting or shared with the family electronically we hope this will help volunteer teams prepare new host families and make them feel welcomed, part of the AFS family and prepared for a successful experience.
