Host Familes
Particular attention is given to selecting our host families. All host families are security/ police vetted and are known personally to our organization. We place immense emphasis on students feeling welcomed and cared for. Our families are committed to creating a “home from home” for the student. Families are encouraged to incorporate the student into their daily lives with outdoor activities, board games, baking, cooking, family occasions, trips, outings, or whatever they are used to doing as a family. However, work placement students can also have more autonomy to spend
their free time as they wish but should always confer with the family regarding their plans.
Our Promise
We promise to give each student the care and support they need to enjoy their time in Ireland and have the best and most rewarding experience possible. ELME will manage all logistical, administrative and organisational details for each student. We promise to oversee all timetables
and duties assigned to each student. Under no circumstances will work placement students have to carry out dangerous or extraordinary duties. We promise complete transparency and open communication between all parties.
