Share Your Life Host an AFS Exchange Student

Something extraordinary happens when you share your home and family with a high school student from another country. That's why 11,000 families worldwide host students through AFS every year. You can help build bridges of intercultural understanding and enrich your life in many ways by sharing your home and daily life with an AFS high school exchange student.
Founded by ambulance drivers after World War II, AFS has led high school student exchange for 60 years. Family life, eating meals together, going to the movies, and playing sports makes all the difference for a young visitor studying in the United States. Families of all kinds are needed to host high school students from around the world. AFS Volunteers support families and students during their stay. Host families provide a bed, meals, and guidance.

There's no place like your home.
