Every year thousands of Americans volunteer to host a high school exchange student. They simply open their hearts and homes to outstanding international students. For many exchange students, going to a barbeque, riding the school bus or cheering on a local football team is a novelty, an experience they'll remember for years to come. We invite you to make a difference and share your your community with an Ayusa student and show them a slice of your American life!
