How to Become a Local Coordinator

Real Stories

"Becoming a LC was great for me when I moved from a small town to a larger community and knew no one except my family. It was a wonderful way to get acquainted with people. I was so excited the first time I went to a store and someone said 'hi'—it was a host family!"

In just three easy steps, you can share your Great Britain with international students from around the world. Here’s how:

Step 1. Apply

Pre-apply online or call 0800 389 5850 to request an application and receive more information. Our Regional Managers can provide detailed answers to any questions you may have. They’ll also put you in touch with the Local Coordinator for your area.

You’ll need to submit an application, references, and background check form. You can do so easily, by faxing, emailing or mailing them to your Regional Manager.

Step 2. Receive Confirmation

While your Regional Manager contacts your references from our national office, another Local Coordinator near your area will arrange an in-home interview during a time convenient for you. Upon your acceptance as an LC, you will receive a call from your Regional Manager welcoming you to the EF High School Year family.

Step 3. Attend Training

Now the fun begins! You will receive the comprehensive LC Training Manual. Soon after, you’ll get information about EF High School Year’s next national LC training. You will get to meet and share ideas with our national staff, as well as fellow LCs from across the country.

You’ll be fully prepared to run an exchange programme in your community in no time. And don’t forget—EF High School Year’s support doesn’t end after training. Your Regional Manager and other Hastings staff will be there for you 365 days a year!
