Our host families are at the heart of the ABC program and cherished members of the ABC community. When our Scholars arrive their Freshman year, they are paired with a welcoming local family who becomes their home away from home throughout their four-year journey. During the school year, scholars spend one weekend and one Sunday a month with their host families.
By generously sharing their homes and lives, our host families create meaningful, lasting bonds that connect scholars to the wider community. Time and again, host families say the experience is just as rewarding for them—forming friendships and memories that last a lifetime.
