We have incredible students all over the globe that are seeking great families to host them while they attend either a semester or two abroad. Host families are responsible for providing room and board for the student. Students may share a room with a same gender, close in age, host sibling. Host families should provide a great study environment, and cultural inclusion. Being a host family with CETUSA comes with many benefits! Some are: gaining a new member of family, 24/7 assistance through student service and your assigned local coordinator, students have their own illness and accidental insurance, online student portals, we are listed and registered by the Council of Standards on International Educational Travel, and so many more! This is a great opportunity to enrich our schools and community with diversity and different cultures. In doing so, helps complete our mission of creating global peace and understanding.
