Tre Mata - CETUSA Local Coordinator @cetusa-la-oc-coordinator - Tumblr Blog

Hello, my name is Tré Mata. I am a local coordinator with the Council for Educational Travel USA (CETUSA)

I help to find host families for foreign exchange students in the US.

If you have ever wanted to give a high school exchange student the opportunity of a lifetime by opening up your home to them, now is the time! Help a young student receive the unique experience that will enrich their lives for years to come and as well as your own, as you both participate in this cultural exchange.

All of our program participants, have great academic standing and receive letters of recommendation from their schools, and all are proficient in understanding English.

There are Full Academic Year programs and Semester long programs, but matter how long you welcome them into your home they will always remain in your heart.

there is no amount of language learning that is useless. I think it obviously scales up in wonderfulness as you learn more, but even just being at the point where you can recognize what language is being spoken or written is still a more useful thing than not knowing that. it is lovely to say hi to people in their language! any attempt to learn is important. you don't get fluent overnight. and you don't have to get fluent overnight. more knowledge is better than none. it isn't just all or nothing.

Never forget that your host family has made space for you in their home.

They are making many sacrifices for you to be there and enjoy yourself, so respect them and be a good family member. Follow their rules, help them out with chores, spend some extra time with them. Keep in mind that in a lot of cases, your host family is not being paid. And even if they are, this is a deviation from their normal family routine, so try to be understanding.

Get $200 for referring a host family that gets successfully placed with a high school exchange student.

If you have any questions about the program you can also visit my blog for more information. And if you are interested in hosting yourself and live in the Orange County or Los Angeles area, you can also contact me directly at [email protected]

Cook something from home for your host family.

It’ll give them a chance to try something new (even if they don’t like it or it didn’t turn out as good as it is at home) and bring a little bit of home to you, no matter how far away from it you may be. Plus, it’s fun and a good way to stop thinking for a while.

Once you have made some friends on a basic level, try to deepen that relationship.

With the cultural difference, it will be hard and its okay if you don’t succeed at first. As different as the people may seem from you, there is at least one out there that you are bound to have a connection with. It’s like a treasure hunt; you have to look for a while first though.

5 Important Tips for Hosting an Exchange Student

Hosting a foreign exchange student will not only be a new experience for the student, but for the family as well. No matter if this is your first time hosting or your tenth, each new student comes with a new experience. Here are a few tips on hosting a foreign exchange student!

#1: Get to know your Exchange Student before they arrive in the United States

Contacting your future foreign exchange student through Skype, telephone, or e-mail consistently before their arrival in the United States will help ease their transition to your home. Once they arrive there will already be an established, positive relationship in place, as opposed to attempting to build that relationship once they arrive. Make sure you learn everything you can as early as possible, not only to help the student with their transition, but the families as well!

#2: Acclimate your student to your town

Taking your student around your town for the day is a great way to get them acclimated to their surroundings and environment. Stop at some of your favorite local restaurants, shops, or landmarks to not only give them a sense of the town, but also what you like about where you live. If possible, maybe you can introduce your exchange student to important people within the town, like the mayor, and use this experience to educate them about how a town in America is run.

#3: Give them chores

Yes, you heard me! Giving an exchange student chores to do around the house will make them feel as though they have a stake in the household. Giving them the responsibility within the household contributes a lot to the sense of trust and family. Simple things such as doing the dishes or walking the dog are great options!

#4: Cook with your student

Cooking with your student is a great way to share each other’s culture and cuisine. Once a week, cook either one of your favorite American dishes or one of your student’s favorite meals from home. Not only will this help you try new things, it will be a great bonding activity that will make you feel like your student is part of your family. Sharing food is a great cross cultural experience that the whole family can enjoy.

#5: Take a lot of photos

Photographs make great gifts, as well as great reminders of amazing memories. When you’re with your exchange student, document all the fun things you do together. Photos from family trips, activities, and other events will not only be great for your family to remember the experience, but will make a great gift for your exchange student before they leave your home. A photo album comprised of all the memories that you made will sure be cherished by your student forever.

These 5 tips will help ease your transition, deepen your experience, as well as help you learn, while you are hosting an exchange student. If there are any other tips that helped you in your hosting experience, please let us know!

Try your hardest to get close to every member in your host family.

Create memories, spend time with each of them, talk to them one-on-one, respect each one of them.
