Several faculty members from outside the area will be participating in our FOOSA Festival, June 8th-24th, 2024. We will need host families in Fresno who are willing to have visitors stay with them. Generally, the stay will run from June 11 through June 27, though we have a few faculty members coming for only a week at a time. We keep our faculty members extremely busy—9-6, and often later, every day—so you will not be expected to entertain them during their stays.
Host families will provide room, possibly board*, and in some cases transportation (many faculty members will have their own cars) for their visitors during the festival, which will include a concert at the Saroyan Theater. Homestays are a blast! We find people make lifelong friends this way.
Feel free to email your questions to Catherine Marchese at cmarchese@yoofresno.org or call/text (559) 512-1726.
*This will depend on the inclinations of the host. Just let us know as you fill out the form below.
