International Hospitality Program (InHoP)

University Ministries collaborates with other departments on campus to provide a host family experience for International students. Monthly meals in a home and group activities throughout the year are part of the program. If you are a North Park international student, or know of one who might be interested, please email us at inhop.npu@gmail.com.

Three-Fold Purpose of the International Hospitality Program

•       To provide undergraduate international students with a warm, hospitable environment which fosters community and the sharing of cultures thus providing them with a holistic support network both on- and off- campus.

•       To provide host families an opportunity to engage in a give-and-take learning relationship and thus become more hospitable, global Christians.

•       To provide undergraduate domestic students with an opportunity to interact and connect with international students in a non-threatening environment and build relationships that will be sustained both on- and off-campus.
