About The WISE Foundation
Our goals for all Homestay Programs is to provide:
- A rich educational experience (linguistic and cultural) for students, and a cultural experience for host families too!
- A safe home environment for students; it is essential that our students' family members know their children are safe and cared for while in the U.S.
- A program in which WISE™ is confident that every reasonable measure has been followed in order to ensure the success and educational value of each student's experience living with an American family.
Why you should be a host family for WISE:
- WISE (Worldwide International Student Exchange) has been the lead homestay organization for UC Davis for over a decade, servicing many students ranging from Japanese to Colombian to German.
- We have a well-established staff of 6 members all dedicated to assisting our students and host families to the best of our abilities.
- We offer a wide variety of complementary services to our students such as airport pickups, bike and cell phone rentals as well as a staff member dedicated entirely to assisting with issues or conflicts that may arise.
- Currently WISE has invested in an up-and-coming software program designed to greatly improve the hosting experience. We highly recommend you check it out and see the incredible features for yourself! https://www.homestaymanager.com/
