about us
Why We Exist:
Our mission is to collectively serve international students, scholars, and their families by providing valuable services and activities. We work to complement the International Student Offices at local colleges and universities throughout the Boston west area. These services are intended to benefit not only the individuals involved, but also their academic institutions, the United States as host country, and the entire global community, of which we are all members.
What We Do:
The services we offer consist primarily of friendship partners, holiday host families, seminars, tourism, and ESL classes (conversational and academic). Spiritual activities such as Bible studies and church participation are also offered for those who are interested.
How We Serve:
We serve in accordance to the NAFSA Code of Ethics and help internationals of all religions, ideologies, and lifestyles. The responses of these students have been overwhelmingly positive for genuine and unconditional hospitality.
