Hosting Opportunities

WWGSA Guardianship Program is comprised of staff members who have been working with children and families in this industry for years. Experience and collaborative efforts are essential ingredients for the proven success of this program. WWGSA staff helps host families develop confidence in the hosting experience as well as understand the prospective student prior to their arrival. WWGSA cooperates with current host families, schools, churches, community centers and other resources to help develop families within the same scholastic and demographic communities. Creating a sense of community is crucial when students wish to attend sporting events, participate in scholastic activities, or who would like to share time with other children in the program or school friends.
