REFERRALS FROM HOST FAMILIES

Host Family Referrals account for nearly 15-20% of new host families each year. AYA encourages host family referrals by offering a referral payment to any host family who refers a new family to the program.

Host families can refer in two ways:

1. Complete the referral link on AYA’s website. We suggest that you bookmark this page for future use. The referred family must also indicate on their application the name of the referring host family.

2. Send their unique host family referral (aka social sharing) link to potential candidates. If a prospect registers using a family’s personal link, AYA will be able to match the referral on our end and reward them if their lead becomes a new host family!

REFERRALS FROM AYA STUDENTS

Because they spend their day with friends, teachers, coaches, and other relevant community members, AYA students are often the most visible face of the AYA program in your community. Local Coordinators can encourage AYA students to speak positively about the program with friends, teachers, and anyone who they encounter during their daily routine.

AYA students are eligible for a gift reward for each new host family they find who welcomes an out-of-country AYA student. Students are encouraged to complete the referral through AYA’s website and should ask the referee to list their name in the appropriate section of their host family application.

To receive payment for their referral, students must submit their referrals by June 1. If the student’s referred family selects a student after they have departed, alternate arrangements for payment will be arranged.
