I would like to do this before my sons finish high school. I remember the exchange students at my school when I was still in High School, and I think it would be beneficial for my sons as well.

My German exchange “sister” just left today and it was so sad. We had such a great time and we were really close. I made a great new friend and I learned some more German as well. I learned a lot about Germany and the culture there. We were kind of different in style, but we had the same sense of humor and got along very well. I will visit her sometime in the next year. I really recommend others doing this.

I’m pretty close to achieving this goal. It started with a meeting offered at school. They handed out fliers and applications, and also made me very interested in the AFS program. So I went to another, outside school, meeting. They gave a lot more information here and also opened the option for hosting. I found this to be a better option for me. I want to host maybe next year (high school junior year) and then once I graduate and go to college, then I will become an exchange student. I just don’t feel that I can give up all of my Honors and AP classes for a year, they are crucial to get into my ideal colleges. But hosting is a good option for me. There is another meeting coming up where I’ll probably apply to be a host. wish me luck!

I stayed in France for a month last year and had a great experience with my host family. Someday I’d like to return the favor in a way by hosting a student of my own.

Gwen asks, “We're interested in hosting a student for 2 weeks to a month this summer, but everything I've found is for a semester or academic year. Can anyone recommend a program that's more short-term?”
