Community Host Information

Thank you for your interest in becoming a Community Host!

The Cal Maritime Host Family Program enables members of the Vallejo and surrounding communities to have the opportunity to meet and develop a strong connection with Cal Maritime students, as well as to learn more about California State University Maritime Academy.

Process

• In order to become a Community Host, individuals should fill out the online application and submit it to the Host Family Program Office. The application process also includes a background check.
• Accepted Community Hosts are required to attend training prior to being matched with a student.
• Once Community Hosts are approved, the applications of Community Hosts and students will be carefully reviewed in order to determine the best possible match based on similar interests.
• A Meet & Greet Reception will be held during Orientation in the fall at Cal Maritime in order for the Community Hosts to meet their matched student and their family.

You will learn more detailed information during the Training Session, but if you have any questions in advance, please don't hesitate to ask!
