    Description

    Host an Exchange Student

    Are you interested in becoming an AFS Host Family?

    Join us for an Info Session! These Info Sessions are webinars designed for anyone who wants to learn more about the AFS experience.

    Listen, ask questions, learn from alumni, and discover how AFS can connect you and those around you to a global intercultural community.

    Why host with AFS?

    With over 75 years of experience and 100 years of history, AFS is a leader in international high school exchange. One thing that sets us apart is our network of almost 3,000 volunteers throughout the U.S. Many of our volunteers have hosted international exchange students or studied abroad with AFS. These local volunteers support families, students, and schools in gaining the most from their hosting experience.

    Extend Your Family

    Host families often develop close relationships with their student’s family, and many find opportunities to visit them long after they’ve returned home.
