Bring the world into your home!
Local AFS Volunteers will support you and your hosted student throughout your experience to help you both receive the most from your time together.
You provide a bed and meals for your student, but most importantly, you should be eager and excited to share your life and activities while providing the same kind of care, support, and comfort as you would to your own child or family members. AFS welcomes all kinds of families.
Students study in high schools and are eager to experience what it’s like to live in America. Attached are examples of the students who come to the US through AFS!
Sharing daily life with a teenager from another country and culture is a rich and rewarding experience and is a wonderful way for you and your family to build a more just and peaceful world.
