Community Host Program
Implementing the Community Host Program Core Values
Cross-cultural understanding:
The Community Host Program matches international students at the University of Virginia with members of the Charlottesville community solely for the purpose of developing cross-cultural exchange.
Cross-cultural appreciation:
Hosts respect the culture, religion, beliefs, and customs of their student match(es) and do not recruit for religious, political, or other groups.
Cross-cultural friendship:
Hosts build international friendships by contacting and welcoming the student(s) they are matched with shortly after receiving their contact information and keeping in touch via phone and email and meeting throughout their first year at UVa.
