CETUSA is a non-profit organization dedicated to helping Americans and those from other cultures to gain a better understanding of one another. With intercontinental travel and the use of technologies such as the Internet, our world seemingly gets smaller daily. However, how do we gain a better understanding of others? Clearly, mutual understanding and appreciation is best reached through daily and personal contact.

CETUSA’s programs are designed to benefit all program participants including the International or American student, the host family, the community coordinator, the school and the community. Through intercultural sharing of one another’s culture, the global community as a whole wins. One never knows when or where these benefits will be realized.

We hope that as you browse through our web site, you will make the decision to get involved with CETUSA either as a student going abroad, a family hosting a new member or as a local community coordinator providing these same opportunities to others in your area. If you are interested, just let us know by completing the appropriate form or by contacting us. We’re happy to share our information with you.
