Host an International Exchange Student

The AFS Intercultural Program is looking for a volunteer Adventist family who would like to host an Adventist international student from Brazil for the upcoming school year 2015-2016.  

AFS students (as well as other exchange organizations) are hosted on a J-1 visa.  That means that Host Families are Volunteers.  They cannot be paid or compensated in any way for hosting a student (Federal law).  They do get a $50 a month deduction on their income tax form.  They also get support in the form of a Liaison, who meets with the family on a monthly basis and will help them through the exchange process.

If you are interested in hosting this student or would like to receive more information, please contact:
