Youth for Understanding (YFU)

Youth For Understanding offers youth exchange programs, students ages 15-19 from around the world live with a volunteer host family, immerse themselves in the local culture and form friendships that bring countries together. As these young people discover new worlds and become part of a community in another country, they not only learn about another culture and language, they also gain perspective on the world and develop a stronger sense of self.


Volunteers are needed! If you are interested in being a mentor to an International exchange student, hosting a foreign exchange student in your home, or many other opportunities, please contact Monette Anderson at 866- 493-8872.
