Host Family Program
The Host Family Program provides students with a home away from home. It introduces families to a diverse community of students from all over the United States, as well as internationally.
The WNCC Host Family program was established in the early 1980s as an additional support program for the Cougar Men's Basketball team. The program has grown to include any WNCC student. The program consists of local families who are willing to "adopt" a WNCC student for the current academic year. The program consists of both traditional and non-traditional families, as well as several grandparents. Not a live-in program, WNCC host families engage in various activities throughout the year with their WNCC student. Each individual host family is allowed to determine for themselves the amount of time they would like to devote to the program. We understand that families have their own priorities, and some families may have the freedom to allot more time to their student.
