TYPES OF HOSTING
SHORT-TERM PROGRAMS
Discover the many benefits of hosting, but with short-term
exchanges. Learn more about your family and community through
specialized multi-week programs that change by location and
sponsor each year. Visit yfuusa.org/shorttermhosting to learn
about current program offerings.
WELCOME FAMILY
Unable to host for an entire semester or year? As a welcome family
you can help a student acclimate to US culture while a permanent
family is identified for the remainder of their exchange.
DUAL HOSTING
Already planning to host? Why not double the fun! Welcome two
international students to your family. Students enjoy having a
live-in peer and confidant. Everyone benefits from learning about
a third culture, because for YFU students to be permitted to live
together, they must come from different countries and English will
be spoken as the common language.
