Helping Texas families bring the world home since 2016! 🌎 As a CETUSA Local Coordinator and longtime host mom, I connect amazing international students with caring host families and support them every step of the journey. Since 2016, she has been helping connect international high school students with caring host families and supportive school communities throughout Texas. As both a Local Coordina
tor and a longtime host mom, Carleen understands the exchange experience from every angle. Her own family has welcomed more than 30 exchange students into their home over the years, creating lifelong friendships that span the globe. She believes some of life's greatest lessons come from opening your home, sharing everyday moments, and discovering how much we all have in common despite our different cultures. Whether you're a family with children at home, empty nesters, single adults, retired couples, or simply have room in your heart for another family member, Carleen is passionate about helping you determine if hosting is right for you. She is committed to supporting both students and host families every step of the way—from the first questions to the final goodbye. Hosting an exchange student isn't just about changing a student's life—it's about enriching your own. The memories, traditions, laughter, and lifelong friendships often become one of the most rewarding experiences a family ever has. If you've ever wondered what it's would be like to bring the world into your home, Carleen would love to answer your questions and help you begin your own exchange journey.
