AFS Host Family Program

The AFS Host Family Program connects international students with local families who welcome them into their homes during their stay abroad. This arrangement provides students a safe, supportive environment to experience the local culture firsthand, practice language skills, and build lasting relationships. Host families offer housing, guidance, and friendship, creating a mutually enriching cultural exchange. Participating families gain insight into another country’s traditions and lifestyles, fostering global understanding and connections. The program aims to promote intercultural learning, empathy, and international friendship for both students and host families.
