Host an International High School Exchange Student

Open Your Heart & Home with AFS-USA

Welcome the world into your home by hosting a high school exchange student with AFS-USA! Families of all kinds are needed to host students from over 80 countries for a semester or school year.

AFS students are 15-18 years old and are eager to share their culture, attend a local high school, and become part of your family. AFS students speak English, have their own spending money, and come with full medical insurance.

AFS host families come in all shapes and sizes! Whether you're a couple with kids, a single adult, empty-nester, or retiree, you can provide a life-changing experience-for your student and for yourself.
