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.
