Description

I became a mother to two young ladies last year - when I decided to become a host mother to foreign exchange students. It was a remarkable experience and, even better, they loved Texas!

By opening YOUR heart and home, you will help make a dream come true for an EF Foundation high school exchange student. Experiences such as attending homecoming games, school dances, and enjoying Thanksgiving dinner will never be forgotten. In return for room, board, and a caring environment, your family will gain an international friendship and a lifetime of fond memories.

Students accepted to the EF Foundation program are good students who speak English (they must keep their grades at a C or greater while they are on the program as well). They are fully insured and bring their own spending money for shopping and extra activities. You can choose a student based on shared interests, which means you pick the right student for your home!
