ORGANIZATION: AFS-USA INC Columbia Pacific Team
Please visit the new page to apply.
Imagine you could add another member to your family. A person who has lived in another country. A person who speaks another language. A person who sees the world in a different way than you. A person who wants to be your new brother or sister. It’s possible when you volunteer as a host family for an AFS exchange student.
Students from AFS Intercultural Programs come from more than 60 countries to experience life in America with families just like yours. You’ll learn about your culture, and more deeply appreciate your own. Go to https://www.afsusa.org/host-family/get-started/ to get started. Sign up to transform lives today!
Students arrive on August 7 th and depart in June. The International Students are here to attend our high schools and learn our culture. You can volunteer host for a school year or a semester. Now is the time to sign up. August is coming fast!
