Parents and Families Resource Center

We are very excited about our Parent and Family Resource Center.  We are currently working on this page and hope to have it up and running soon. 

What exactly will we have here?  Good question!  

This will be a page for parents, families or sponsors of students to go in order to find the information they need to be satisfied as to whether this is the best program for their child.  I know if I was to send my daughter or son overseas I would need to have a lot of questions answered before I could make the decision of whether to give my child the blessing (or sponsor money :-) to go to a foreign country.  My children are my life.  

Here is an example of what is to come:

1) We are aware that many parents might not speak English.  We are in the process of having the information in the parent resource center translated into 20 different languages.  In the meantime, I invite you to use Google's translation tool.

2) We will provide details about where our interns are working, including links to the company websites so you as a parent can see that your child will be working in a reputable company.  Here is a sample of where HTIR interns have worked in the past.

3) We will provide all of HTIR and the universities' licenses, accreditations and associations.  We want you to feel confident that our company and the schools we work with are reputable and legitimate.  In the meantime, the accreditations are available under each participating school's website.

4) We will provide as much information as we can about US culture including safety in the US.

5) We will give details about the cities where our schools are located.  This information will include ethnic groups, churches, temples, clubs, organizations, etc.  We want you to know there will be support for your child.

6) We will be providing bio's of all the HTIR staff as well as the school officials who will be working with your child directly.  We want you to feel confident that your child is in good care.  We do currently have a few of the HTIR staff bios available

7) We now have student stories and testimonials.  These stories are from current HTIR interns telling you about their experiences in the US.  We hope to have many more stories available in the near future

8) We have contact information for HTIR staff and School staff so you will always know how to get a hold of someone if you need to have a question answered.  Especially after your child has arrived into the US.  This can be a scary time for parents and family.

I look forward to your comments, as well as if you would like us to provide other information.  If, in the meantime you have any questions please email anytime!  Nancy
