Youth For Understanding is a non-profit, volunteer-based, international high school student exchange organization partnering with 50 other countries to provide students with an opportunity to experience life and a new culture while living with a host family and attending school in another country.

International high school students arrive in the U.S. each year in August to be placed with a host family who has been matched with the student, and who will then live with the family and attend school for the academic year. YFU USA always seeks those in the community who would be interested in hosting a student or volunteering in another capacity to help with this exciting international program.
