Your placement in Germany
Just like Germany itself, our host families are very diverse and can have different family constellations. The majority consists of families with two parents and two to four children between the years of 1 and 10. We try our best to take your regional preferences into consideration, however, we ask you to be open-minded about the location. We know from experience that it is most important to match with a family based on compatibility rather than placement preferences. Even if you don't spend your year in Germany in your desired region, you will have plenty of time and opportunity to travel the country in your spare time and explore other parts of Germany.
Currently, our host families live in and around the following places: Berlin, Duesseldorf, Frankfurt, Hamburg, Hanover, Karlsruhe, Munich, Nuremberg and Stuttgart.
