Home Hosting Applicants

Are you interested in becoming a home host?

As a home host, a fancy estate isn’t required, just an extra bedroom, some meals for your guest and an open heart! Your guest will participate each day in scheduled classes, presentations and events. Additionally, NNIC will plan some weekend activities for the participants to learn about our culture and history in Nevada and the United States. The NNIC will provide a cultural briefing for the Home Host participants a week prior to the guest arrival that will include some background on the visitors and their region as well as some key words and phrases to facilitate communication between host and visitor. The program will also include social gatherings and receptions in which you and your visitor will be able to meet and socialize with other hosts and visitors. Be a home host — the experience will be priceless!
