Becoming
an AFS Host Family . . .
Hosting a
high school exchange student or a teacher from another country can be
a wonderful and transforming experience. AFS is unique among student exchange
organizations because of the great deal of care we take with student/family
placement and the ongoing support we provide throughout the hosting period.
With AFS, individuals
cannot merely "sign-up" to host or travel to a foreign country as a student.
AFS is NOT a travel club for high school students. We are serious about
"promoting world peace one friendship at a time," and this begins with
good family placements.
Prospective
families and students are interviewed by local AFS volunteers in a time-tested
screening process. The results are almost always great matches between
students and families! Each AFS exchange student has full medical insurance
coverage.
