Defy borders by welcoming an exchange student into your home! Sharing daily life with a teenager from another country and culture is a rich and rewarding experience, and it's a wonderful way to bring more understanding into the world. AFS is seeking families in our community to host high school students for the 2011-12 school year. Students arrive in August. Whether you are single or a couple, with or without children, you can be a host family! Local AFS Volunteers provide continual support to both students and host families to help both gain the most from their experience.
