As a home host, you are on the front lines providing visitors a glimpse of Fort Worth’s way of life, sharing our local food, activities and customs. You choose what type of visitor you would like to host – student, teacher, business professional, etc. – as well as indicate a gender preference. The activities you share with your visitor may include cultural and historical places of interest, sports and recreational venues, or places of worship, along with day trips to other parts of Texas. Hosts are given the opportunity to participate in as little or as many of these activities as they wish.
