"We are a group of enthusiastic volunteers of all ages who are trying to make the world a better, more peaceful place through a high school exchange program. Whoever you are, wherever in Virginia you are, we would love to have you join our volunteers. Whether you have previous AFS experience or are simply interested in intercultural exchanges, we have all sorts of opportunities to help, ranging from small or occasional tasks to longer major activities." --Jerene Thomas, AFS Volunteer Chair

AFS is a world leader in educational intercultural exchange, with more than 400,000 alumni. If you're thinking about studying abroad as an exchange student and cultural ambassador for the United States, look no further than our exciting programs in over 40 countries. Programs last as little as two weeks and as long as a school year.
Hosting
Each year, AFS Intercultural Programs welcomes more than 2,300 international high school students to the US. These are outstanding young people who were selected in their home countries to study in US high schools and are eager to experience what it's like to live in America. Sharing daily life with a teenager from another country and culture is a rich and rewarding experience and is a wonderful way for you and your family to bring more understanding into the world.
