Seattle nonprofit Jolkona is searching for families to host an international visitor this fall. Jolkona is bringing social entrepreneurs from around the world to Seattle for an intensive business workshop with their Catalyst program. Interested host families should be able to provide a room for their visitor, be close to bus transportation, and provide breakfast and dinner for their visitor. The entrepreneurs working with Jolkona will spend much of their free time working with the organization, creating projects or going to workshops. Families will receive a stipend for hosting.

The program runs from October 18th to November 6th; if you’re interested in hosting someone, you can fill out this form or read more from Jolkona.
