Host an AFS Exchange Student. Gain a global family member for a lifetime!

Have you ever wanted to learn more about another culture? Hosting an AFS exchange student is a great way to learn about another culture right in your own home. Living with a host family is an ideal way for exchange students to learn about American culture.

The experience is an once-in-a-lifetime adventure for host families, too.The museums and historical places in our own hometown that we took for granted suddenly seemed fascinating and important. Our family traditions and holidays began to take on new meaning as I anticipated sharing them with a new son. We learned anew about our country, as we started to see it through our exchange student’s eyes.” http://www.afsusa.org/afs-blog/host-family/article/?article_id=6512
