Home Host Agreement

THE FRIENDSHIP FORCE OF LOS ANGELES
HOME HOST AGREEMENT

The undersigned Head of Household (on behalf of all members of the household, collectively called "I") agree to participate in a citizens' exchange program by serving as a Host for an International visitor (or visitors). I recognize that the exchange program was arranged by The Friendship Force, Inc. which includes its directors, officers, employees, as well as its volunteer workers. I also recognize that there are certain risks of having people visiting me and staying in my home, and I am willing to assume and bear these risks in order to meet and share experiences with someone from another country.

Therefore, the consideration of my selection by The Friendship Force as a Friendship Force Host for the exchange program, I do hereby release, indemnify, and hold harmless The Friendship Force from all claims, actions, and causes of action based upon or by reason of any loss, damage, or injury to any person or property of any member of the household, arising out of, or any manner connected with, any aspect of the exchange program.

As a Host, I shall:

a) provide room and board for a visiting Ambassador(s) for the specified days and nights

b) involve this Ambassador(s) in the daily activities of my family

c) participate in all the official functions planned for Hosts during the exchange program

d) attend training workshops

e) attend an interview, if requested

f) accept that the exchange is a public event and that the photograph and name of the Host may be used by the local and national media and The Friendship Force in its publications

As a host, I shall willingly accept in my home people who may be of another race or religious preference, who may not speak my language, and who have customs with which I am unfamiliar.
