Host a Participant!
our participants at the International Buffet and Silent Auction
_As is often the case, we are currently looking for families and individuals in Columbus to host a participant.
Our delegations are professional adults from around the world that come to the States to spend time in domestic agencies, businesses and government departments, in order to both share their knowledge and gain an expanded perspective in their professional work.
Host families reap the benefits of helping an individual from another country learn our culture, gain first-hand experience with another culture, as well as a tax deduction! In order to participate, host families are required to:
You can be a single person, a working couple, a family, retired--whatever your status, you can be a host! Also, it is not necessary to speak their native language, as many participants speak English and would like to practice.
If you are interested, please send us an email at cipcols@aol.com!

is a long tradition of seeing volunteerism as a form of charity, based
on altruism and selflessness. The best volunteering does involve the
desire to serve others, but this does not exclude other motivations, as
well. CIP is always looking for people with enthusiasm, curiosity, and
the desire to learn about other cultures. There are many ways you can
