AFS Intercultural Programs is a non-profit exchange program organization for
high school students. AFS (formerly the American Field Service) is a leader in
intercultural learning and offers international exchange programs in more than
40 countries around the world. We've been exchanging students for 60 years.
That's six decades of history and experience in international education with an
exemplary record of safety, security, and service to students, parents, and
educators.
Every year we send approximately 1,600 American students abroad and we receive
about 2,500 foreign exchange students in the US
eager to learn about the American culture. We rely on volunteer families to
welcome them into their hearts, homes and communities. We are looking for host
families in the Western Maryland area. If you would like
