YFU USA - Go Global Event

Youth For Understanding USA (YFU USA) is inviting families and teenagers in Northampton areas to a special opportunity to learn about international education and building cultural bridges between the US and over 60 countries. High school students from around the world will be headed our way this August to spend an exchange year in Pennsylvania.

Opportunities are available to host an exchange student or to volunteer and mentor a student. For American teens, YFU USA has great opportunities to study abroad and offers tons of scholarships.  We are holding a YFU Virtual Information Night on July 3rd 2012 @ 10PM to share more information about international education opportunities.

To learn more about YFU USA and how your family can become a YFU Host Family please join YFU USA staff and volunteers/host families for a short presentation about YFU USA programs and hosting followed by Q&A.
