Additional Information:

Ayusa Global Youth Exchange is a non-profit high school student exchange organization with Headquarters in San Francisco, CA. Each year, Ayusa places about 1500 foreign exchange students with volunteer American host families for the academic school year or a semester.

We are currently seeking fun-loving families to open up their homes to an exchange student.

Our exchange students are between the age of 15 and 18 and come from more than 60 countries around the world! The students have their own spending money, health insurance and have studied English for at least 3 years.

These students are eager not only study in America but also learn about the American culture- more importantly, your American family!
