The organization I work for, AFS-USA, is looking for warm and welcoming families to host exchange students arriving this September! Hosting a student, even for just a few weeks, offers a life-changing experience for both the student and your family. Intercultural exchange programs not only enrich lives but also foster lasting connections.
Ready to make a difference? You could be THE family that changes a young person’s life, forever. Get started at afsusa.org/host or email us at [email protected]. If you’re already hosting or unable to host, we’d greatly appreciate any referrals for potential host families here: bit.ly/NominateAFSHost. Feel free to DM me with questions!

I am often asked "what is the hardest part about hosting an exchange student?" I think many who have hosted would agree that saying "Goodbye" or as I like to say "See you later" is the most difficult. This week over 600 students said "see you later" to their American Host Families. The memories last forever and the relationship continues to grow even with the distance. Consider welcoming a student to your home this fall. Contact me directly for more information at [email protected]

If you have traveled by plane lately, you know how hard it is to get from one place to another. Imagine if you were coming from Nigeria. Mfoniso only has one option available if he wants to get to the US before school starts, August 10th. That means we need to find him a host family now, today! This young man plays multiple instruments, and wants to become a doctor. Please help us find a host family by sharing this post with family and friends. Visit www.afsusa.org/host to start an application or message us with any questions.
