Highs School Exchange Student
Sharing daily life with a teenager from another country and culture is a rich and rewarding experience, and it’s a wonderful way to bring more understanding into the world. If you’ve ever thought about welcoming an exchange student into your home and family, now’s the time to learn more. AFS, a leading international high school student exchange program, needs families to host high school students for an academic year or six months.
