Anseong-si Promotes Youth Homestay Program with Brea City, USA

On the 12th, Anseong City in Gyeonggi Province announced plans to promote a youth homestay program with its sister city, Brea City in California, USA.

This program consists of attending regular classes at Brea's middle and high schools, one-on-one matching with local students, and visits to institutions related to culture, arts, science, and politics.

Since Anseong City established its sister city relationship with Brea in 2011, 275 local middle school students have participated in the youth homestay program.

The city explained that, especially for this year's program, the selection process has been improved to expand participation opportunities and strengthen fairness by ▲ relaxing academic achievement requirements at the initial application stage ▲ increasing the number of candidates passing the first document screening ▲ removing the self-introduction evaluation stage during the document screening process ▲ and adding a third final selection stage by lottery in addition to the existing first document screening and second English interview stages.

Applications for the homestay program will be accepted from the 16th to the 24th through individual in-person submissions to the Education and Youth Division of Anseong City Hall.
