NEW & NOTEWORTHY

INAUGURAL GALA LAUNCHES NEW SCHOLARSHIP,
FINANCIAL AID PROGRAM
In today’s world, the principles of youth
exchange are as relevant as ever, which is why
it was important to YFU staff and our Board of
Trustees not only to also re-introduce a YFU presence
in the DC area but to celebrate this transition
by establishing a Financial Aid Fund. “This fund
will ensure students from all backgrounds have
the ability to experience the life-long value of
intercultural exchange,” said Michael Hill, President
and CEO.

YFU COUCHES
Have the itch to travel again and experience life
as a local? Make the world your home and share
your couch with the YFU network. Managed by the
YFU International Secretariat, register “your couch”
today to host YFU world travelers or find a place to
