AIRPORT PICKUP

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. 

HOST HOMES

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. 

THE WAREHOUSE

The Hospitality Center offers a program called "The Warehouse." It is designed to provide you with common, everyday tools and supplies to enhance your experience as an international student who might be on a budget. All items will be brand new, not second-hand. Sign up below to tell us what you're looking for!
