AFS looking for YS hosts for exchange students

Each year, AFS Intercultural Programs welcomes more than 2,500 international high school students to the U.S. These are outstanding young people who were selected in their home countries to study in U.S. high schools and are eager to experience what it's like to live in America. Sharing daily life with a teenager from another country and culture is a rich and rewarding experience and is a wonderful way for you and your family to bring more understanding into the world.

AFS is now looking for host families for students arriving in the Yellow Springs area in mid-August for the 2010-2011 school year.

Host an AFS Exchange Student and build bridges of intercultural understanding. It's a gift you'll give and receive. Most families have no idea how much they'll gain until they say yes! Fill out a hosting interest form at http://www.afsusa.org/hostfamily to start the process, or call local volunteer Marla Gamble at 937-233-6190.
