The program will give families and airmen the chance to form lasting bonds, new friendships and build support networks with the local community and outside the normal military environment, according to Minot Area EDC information.

“For a lot of airmen, this is the first time they have been away from their friends and friends. To help ease the transition, families in the local community open their homes, and are friends and mentors to our airmen. The families provide our airmen with a caring environment and sense of belonging that could potentially build relationships that last a lifetime,” the information said.

According to the information, host families are encouraged to treat airmen as a member of the family, not as a guest.
