Reaching out to Kansas City Area Parents and Adults asking for your continued assistance and support by opening up your home to host a foreign exchange high school student from one of over 70 countries around the world.
AFS Student Foreign Exchange ( https://www.afsusa.org/host-family/ ) is built and sustained by Parents and Adults like you who are actively supported by a local, experienced, volunteer AFS Team and AFS National Staff.
We have multiple ways for you to help us:
* Host a Student - In addition to all the great high schools that hosted this year, more schools have opened to having students for the 2022-2023 school year.
* Share bios - We are happy to send you flyers and bios of students to share on social media, at community events, or with friends and families.
* Promote AFS - by sharing your story of hosting or placing a yard sign in your yard;
* Volunteer - have you thought about joining our volunteer team to help with orientation, conduct interviews, or just share your ideas for activities for the students.
