About Me

Hello! I am the Field Director for North and South Carolina for YOUTH FOR UNDERSTANDING. YFU is a private, non-profit, volunteer based educational youth exchange organization.YFU international exchange hosts students from over 50 countries that arrive in August every year. They experience American culture while living with an American host family and attend high school. Host families enjoy the cross-cultural experiences of learning something new everyday and gaining a global perspective. In turn, they help their international son or daughter immerse and learn about American culture.YFU also has several programs for American high school students who would like to explore the world by living and studying in a foreign country for a year, semester, or for the summer. Scholarships are available!

My Interests

Families that are caring and loving. You enjoy learning and teaching something new everyday.

I'd like to meet:

Host families! What is a host family?*two parents with children *two parents without children *single parents *senior adults *same-sex couplesIn other words, many different kinds of families can host. You just need to have the ability and desire to open your home and heart to a child.It's exciting and rewarding to help change the life of a student. Be part of a life changing experience for a student and yourself!

Music:

Music from all over the world!

Movies:

Movies are a great family activity. Maybe watching movies in sub-titles will be fun and educational.

Television:

So many exchange students love watching American TV, especially sport events. Many love learning about American football!

Books:

Books, like people, are windows into the world.

Heroes:

YOU will be a hero to a kid because you have opened your home and heart to them.
