Host a student

Welcome the world to your place

Hosting an AFS international student gives you the chance to experience a new culture in your own home. It’s a fantastic opportunity.

You’ll be introducing someone to Kiwi life. And you’ll expand your own horizons too.

If your kids are planning an AFS exchange, this will give them a taste of what they are in for. If they have already been on an exchange, this is your chance to repay the favour.

AFS offers the support you need. All you have to do is carry on as usual and treat your international guest like any other family member. That’s why they have come to New Zealand.

AFS friendships last a lifetime. By welcoming an AFS student, you are making the world a friendlier place and giving your family an unforgettable experience.
