Share Your Home, Change The World, Host A YFU Exchange Student in the Warren area
ORGANIZATION: Youth For Understanding
Please visit the new page to apply.
Consider opening your heart and your home to a Youth for Understanding (YFU) high school exchange student for the school year! Or maybe you would host shorter-term in a welcome placement?
You would provide a place to live, three meals a day, encouragement, guidance and love to your new exchange son/daughter.
It is a typical family living experience---NOT a tourist/travel opportunity.
Families come in all shapes and sizes, with and without children of all ages.
Students come with their own spending money, health insurance, and the commitment to live according to the rules and values of your family and Youth for Understanding. They can share a room with a host sibling.

Mission Statement
YFU advances intercultural understanding, mutual respect and social responsibility through educational exchanges for youth, families and communities.
Description
Youth For Understanding offers youth exchange programs, students ages 15-19 from around the world live with a volunteer host family, immerse themselves in the local culture and form friendships that bring countries together. As these young people discover new worlds and become part of a community in another country, they not only learn about another culture and language, they also gain perspective on the world and develop a stronger sense of self.
YFU USA volunteers are typically the primary YFU contact within the community. Volunteers support students, families, programs, and other volunteers in a wide variety of ways. From conducting student orientations to making classroom presentations, problem solving with international students and their host families to arranging social activities, there is truly a place for everyone with YFU USA. Whether you are a returned exchange alumnus, a parent, a retired person, or a college student - we welcome people of all backgrounds to work with us. Whatever your skills and interests are, there is a volunteer opportunity to match them!
If you don't see a current opportunity listed, please contact us, as we are always accepting volunteer applications.
