We exist to extend HOSPITALITY
to international students.
We are a community passionate about serving each other and exchanging in culture, friendship, and faith.

INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS & SCHOLARS:

We're here to help you feel welcomed in a new, foreign place. 

Through fun events and activities, we want to show you Minnesotan and American culture! We want to build relationships with you and make sure you feel like you have a home here.

We offer both in-person and online events, as well as other services.

AMERICANS:

We're here to help you change the world!

How? Through hospitality. 
​
There are 10,000 international students living in the Twin Cities, waiting to be invited into a relationship with you.

​10,000 students have come from all across the world, meaning the mission field has come to you. All you need to do is open your front door. ​

COVID-19 UPDATE:

HCC values the health and safety of all our students, staff, and volunteers. In light of the recent order from Governor Walz, we are now hosting small group events. Please wear a mask, and stay home if you are sick.

Stay informed by viewing the Minnesota Guidelines or the CDC's COVID-19 updates.

IF YOU'RE AN INTERNATIONAL STUDENT,

CONSIDER US ​YOUR HOME-AWAY-FROM-HOME

UPCOMING EVENTS

The heart and soul of our organization is hosting events. If you're an international student, you're always welcome. If you're an American looking to volunteer, please let us know what event you'd like to be a part of. 
Due to COVID-19, we hosted our annual fundraiser, "Welcome to the Family Friendraiser," online.
This event took place in April 2020 and is an update of the organization and stories
from our community, recapping on HCC's impact in 2019. This video (above) is the entire fundraiser for your viewing.
80% of international students are never invited into an American's home.
