Our page will allow users to gain access to the most up-to-date IFYE USA news, as well as to gain access to conference news, applications for traveling abroad, and general International youth exchange information. The IFYE program is a unique exchange program that allows young adults to, not only travel to new countries and study a new culture, but to quickly integrate one's self into the
ir host families and the surrounding communities. In doing so, IFYE presents the opportunity to become completely immersed in the host country's culture quickly, thus resulting in a deeper understanding in a shorter amount of time. The IFYE program is for individuals of 19+ years of age, who are willing to commit to living in another country for a 3 - 6 month time span. IFYE participants will then live and work, as a part of their host family for 3 -5 week time periods, before they are relocated to their next family. As an IFYE exchange participant you will embark upon the trip of a lifetime, gain new perspectives, and expand your horizons globally.
