Share Your Life—Host an AFS Exchange Student or Teacher
Each year, AFS exchanges close to 13,000 students, young adults and teachers from around the world who want to experience what it’s like to live and study in another country.
In the U.S. we host more than 2,800 international high school students and teachers. The experience of studying abroad or teaching abroad in the U.S. is unparalleled.
Why Host an AFS Exchange Participant?
• Enrich your family’s daily life simply by sharing it with a young person or teacher from another culture and country
• Introduce a new culture and customs to your children
• See the U.S. and our culture through new eyes
• Develop a lifelong connection with your hosted participant and his or her family
• Help an outstanding young person or teacher grow into a more confident and knowledgeable adult
AFS welcomes all kinds of families. To find out more about hosting, submit a Host Family Interest Form, call 1-800-AFS-INFO, or email afsinfo@afs.org.
