Open Your Home, Change a Life
Become a host family—give a student the chance to grow, connect across cultures, and build a brighter future for you both.
This fall, we’re partnering with Jump the World, a reputable cultural exchange organization, to welcome students from Guatemala for an 8-week program from mid-October to mid-December 2025—and we’re looking for host families to join this exciting journey.
We're thrilled to collaborate with Jump the World to bring global experiences into our school and community. Hosting is about more than accommodation—it’s about sharing your home and traditions, learning from one another, and fostering connection across cultures. It’s a chance to live out Catherine McAuley’s mission to open doors, in the true spirit of Mercy.
Build lifelong bonds.
Experience and celebrate cultural exchange.
Inspire growth, empathy, and understanding.
Make a difference in a young person’s life—and your own.
