Call for Host Families
Youth for Understanding (YFU) invites you to make a difference by hosting an international teen this fall. Host families come in many shapes and sizes – some have young children, some are empty nesters, some are retirees - but all act as exemplary citizen diplomats by welcoming an international visitor into their homes. If you are willing to open yourselves to new experiences, share your lives with a fascinating teenager from a foreign land, and provide guidance, love and support to a young person, you will make a great host family.
Visit the YFU website to learn more about hosting and meet YFU students coming later this summer or call 1.800.872.0200 extension #2 to speak with your local Field Director.
Hosting a YFU international exchange student is an enriching experience for the entire family. Give your family a real connection to the world without leaving home. You will experience a foreign culture, see our own culture through a new perspective, and hopefully gain a friend for life!
Since 1951, YFU has been a leader in youth exchange programs in more than 60 countries. As a non-profit organization, YFU and its dedicated volunteers help exchange more than 4,500 students around the globe each year.
Be a U.S. citizen diplomat! Expand your world by sharing your home and family with an international student this fall.
