Whether you are in high school, at a university or jump-starting your career, AFS has the right exchange program for you! Be fluent in another language and experience a new environment. Whether its being in a new school or finding opportunities for cultural internships and volunteer abroad. Your host families and volunteers are waiting to help make your intercultural learning experience the best time of your life.

“Discover a new culture, a new language as you make friends for life from all parts of the world. It’s a year in which you’ll grow up and get to know yourself—your limits and your capabilities and you’ll change completely in the best way possible.”

—Giulia Andar, exchange student from Italy to Germany

AFS is committed to helping young people go abroad regardless of their financial situation. That’s why AFS works with corporate and community sponsors and individual donors to help finance AFS programs through full and partial scholarships.

These days you don’t have to go far to find an AFSer making a difference in local communities. They are across the industries or at the forefront of an important international issue or social cause.
