Become a Global Family with AFS-USA!
Open your home to the world this coming school year and make a global connection: Host an AFS Exchange Student. Each year, AFS Intercultural Programs/USA, a leading international non-profit high school student exchange for more than 60 years, welcomes 2,500 high school students from more than 90 countries into communities.
These students are eager to attend a local high school, live with a host family and discover what America is all about. AFS-USA is always looking for supportive host families. By hosting an AFS Exchange Student, you and your family will help build bridges of intercultural understanding at home and abroad while connecting with an outstanding young person. Host families provide a bed and meals, share their daily lives with students, and help guide and support students as they would their own children. Students come with full medical insurance and personal spending money. Families and their hosted students receive ongoing support from AFS Staff and experienced, local volunteers.
For more information about how to host a student, study abroad, or volunteer with AFS, contact Traci Larson-Lee at [email protected] or visit www.afsusa.org.
