AFS seeks host families

AFS (formerly the American Field Service) has been a leader in the field of student exchange for more than 55 years. Each year more than 2,700 exchange students arrive in the US to be welcomed into families, high schools and communities.

San Diego County usually hosts some 15 AFS students from Europe, Asia and Central and South America for one school year. We are now receiving applications for students who will be arriving in January for the spring semester, returning home in June.

These high school-age students are interested in learning about our culture, improving their English skills and expanding their life experiences. Hosting families also gain new experiences and make new friends. My family has hosted several students and found it enriching and enjoyable.

This year I am serving as volunteer hosting coordinator for the San Diego area. If you would like to learn more about the program, please call me at (760) 728-5682 or visit our local Web site, http://www.afssd.org.
