    Description

    Host an Exchange Student : Meet Henri from Germany!

    Family-oriented Henri from Germany loves spending time with his parents and little brother, both at home and in their many travels. They particularly enjoy exploring the outdoors together, hiking and biking. Henri is an excellent student with a keen interest in subjects such as history, politics, physics and chemistry. He is excited to try new activities and sports while in the USA, and is excited to learn more about the American educational system. He plays the trombone in a traditional brass band, and also enjoys playing chess as a hobby. Henri is outgoing and confident!

    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.
