AFS Intercultural Programs Kansas City

AFS Intercultural Programs, Inc., is an international, voluntary, non-governmental, non-profit organization that provides intercultural learning opportunities to help people develop the knowledge, skills and understanding needed to create a more just and peaceful world.

AFS provides opportunities for families to experience the culture of one of nearly 50 countries by volunteering to host a foreign exchange high school student for a semester or a full school year. Opportunities for American high school students to study abroad and live with a family are also available. As a volunteer organization, AFS offers many other opportunities, matching the volunteer's interests and talents and requiring varying amounts of time, to help support and enrich the students' experiences.
