Community Corner
Bring the world to your home. Host an exchange student!
Join a vibrant Youth For Understanding (YFU) community of volunteers, families and international students as a YFU Host Family. With more than 60 years of experience, students and families around the world trust YFU because of its reputation for quality, high safety standards, and strong support network. Share your family traditions - welcome an eager international teenager ready to experience American culture, learn about social responsibility, and build interpersonal bonds of friendship that will last a lifetime. As a YFU host family you can make dreams come true for one of this year’s almost 2000 International Students traveling here this summer from 60 countries around the world.
As a YFU Host Family your family will:
- Gain a global perspective
- Learn about other cultures
- Gain a lifetime of memories and most likely a family member for life
YFU is here to support your family every step-of-the-way: with handbooks, group orientations, trained local volunteers and a dedicated professional support staff.
Let our families tell you about their experience:
