Our host family program is an integral part of the support system that helps these exceptional scholars achieve academic success by providing a “home away from home” approximately two weekends (or one weekend and one Sunday) per month during the school year. Host families integrate the scholars into their families and offer a warm and nurturing place for students away from the RABC house. They also help our scholars get more connected to the community by participating in normal everyday family activities – from chores to social functions. This broadens the Scholars’ experiences and often builds lasting relationships that become life-long friendships.
