Local Coordinators

Change the lives of students and families in your city by connecting them with international students.

Your Dream Summer Job

Bring international students to your area by becoming a Local Coordinator and facilitating a short immersion experience for a number of students coming at the same time.

Local Coordinators place and supervise international students in the United States with families that have a child the same age and gender as them as well as similar interests. During the program, Local Coordinators supervise the students and organize activities for them and their families in their own community. This is a great way to make a summer income while bringing culture to your area!

1. Apply Today – Fill out our application and Live N Learn will reach out to set up an initial call.

2. Design Your Program – Alongside our team, you will design your summer program. You decide how many international students will come to your city and activities you would like to include in the program.

3. Coordinate Life-Changing Experiences – Get to know your international students through video interviews. Find and match them with host families in your city who have children the same age, gender, and with similar interests.

4. Watch Your Program Come to Life – After their arrival, provide support to your students and families through regular check-ins, attend the fun activities you organized, and witness the magical, life-long connections you created!

Will my student need a passport? All participants need to have a passport in order to travel internationally. Once at the destination, the Group Leader will collect all students' passports and keep them secured for the duration of the trip.

If your child does not currently have a passport, be sure to apply several months before the tour departs. For U.S. citizens, the passport needs to be valid for at least six months after returning home and have at least two blank pages. Non-U.S. citizens need to carry a non-expired passport and a multi-entry visa. Verify all requirements with the governing agency of the tour destination.

For all passport information, including how to apply, please visit the U.S. Department of State website (passports.state.gov) or the governing agency of your home country.

Will I be able to contact my child while they are traveling? Students will have Wi-Fi connection at hotels and if their trip includes a homestay, in their host family's home and can communicate with their families via Skype, Whats App, iMessage, Face Time, etc. Your phone carrier may provide the option for international data, so make sure to contact them prior to departure.

Does Live N Learn offer cancellation insurance? Yes! At the time of registration, you will have the option to purchase cancellation insurance for your trip. This is something we recommend as it's a protection of your investment!

Can my student receive college credit for their trip? Yes, we partner with Sacramento State to offer the opportunity for students to receive college credit for their Independent Travel Program. See here for more information.

Will my student need vaccinations before traveling? Requirements vary for each individual and depend on health status, destination, trip itinerary, and length of stay. Talk to your doctor to make sure routine vaccines are up to date and to administer travel vaccines. Find more information on required travel vaccinations from the International Association for Medical Assistance to Travelers at.org/country-health-advice.
