AFS is an international non-profit organisation which has been running student exchange programs for 60 years. We are seeking host families for 8 overseas students aged 15 to 17 arriving in August 2008. We’re asking the Canberra community to bring the world into your home by offering to host one of these students.
AFS was established to create peace through intercultural learning experiences, and our host families are all volunteers who welcome their hosted students into their home as part of their family. There is a local support network for all families and students involved with AFS in the Canberra and regional NSW area. It is a fantastic international community to be a part of and hosting a student proves to be a very rewarding way to make a difference in the life of a young person.
We would love to hear from you if you would like more details, to apply to become an AFS host family, or if you are interested in sending your son or daughter overseas on an AFS program. Please do not hesitate to contact Laura Frot on 0424 504 612 or email [email protected]
