    Description

    Host an Exchange Student : Meet Hiroki from Japan!

    Meet 15-year-old Hiroki from Japan, who will celebrate his 16th birthday shortly after joining your family! Hiroki is a natural leader at school, serving as vice class representative. He enjoys making school a good experience for his fellow students. Although he attends boarding school, he is very close to his family, especially his father, and they even ran a marathon together last year. Hiroki’s true passion is basketball. He plays on a club team and with friends whenever he can. Friendly and confident, Hiroki enjoys meeting new people and is excited to become an active part of your family.

    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.
