AFS News

We are presently looking for families interested in hosting an AFS exchange student. Portfolios of students are available to look at. There are approximately 20 students, ages 16-18, waiting to be placed in the Western New York area. Please consider this opportunity and contact Marty Cusimano or Val Gaesser at the Elementary School (659-8317). Calling for information is not a commitment to a student, but may help you decide if this is an opportunity your family would like to take advantage of.

Most Frequently Asked Questions

Who can host an AFS Exchange Student?

Many kinds of families have a lot to offer our AFSers. All families interested in getting to know another young person make great host families.

What is required of an AFS host family?

As a host family you would be agreeing to :
  1. Provide all meals for your AFS student
  2. Provide your student with his or her own bed (sharing a room with a sibling is fine)
  3. Include him or her in the life and activities of your family
  4. Provide the same support, care and comfort as you would for your own child
Please consider being a host family.

A Proud AFS History

During World Wars I and II, young Americans volunteered as ambulance drivers in the American Field Service evacuating the wounded from the battlefields. When they returned home, they founded a movement to promote understanding and peace through international student exchanges. AFS has a partnership with more than 50 countries. AFS Clubs vary from school to school. Kendall High School has been hosting AFS exchange students for more than 25 years!

If your family is interested in finding out more about hosting an exchange student, please contact Marty Cusimano or Val Gaesser at 659-8317.
