Are you new to Minnesota? Are you researching how to get around the Twin Cities when you arrive? Our friendly volunteers will connect with you while you’re still in your home country, and pick you up from the MSP airport when you arrive. We'll drive you to your temporary residence until dorms and apartments open up. To sign up, please fill out the form below.

Are you looking for temporary housing after your arrival before moving into your dorm/apartment? The Hospitality Center screens and trains every volunteer and family that we work with. They are ready to welcome you into their homes and help you get settled in after arriving in MN. You may choose to stay with your host family anywhere between 3-14 days. Please apply early below.

If you have arrived recently to Minnesota and need furniture or household goods then "The Warehouse" is for you. We will be having two Warehouse Giveaway Days on August 20th and September 3rd! Please come and receive furniture and household goods for your residence. We want you to feel comfortable and have what you need to live happily during your time here in the Twin Cities. Some of the items that will be available include: couches, dining tables, chairs, desks, appliances, lamps, cookware, dining ware. |
If you are an international student who wants to get the most out of your experience here in America, please consider a homestay through USA Homestays. We want to place you in a good home for a year at a time so you can fully experience the best of American culture. There are many benefits of a homestay with us: a private bedroom in a good home, all utilities paid, meals, constant opportunities to interact with English speakers. Our homestay is more than just a home away from home.
