The AFS Effect

AFS programs foster transformation that lasts a lifetime. Today’s exchange students are tomorrow’s changemakers: diplomats; thought leaders; influencers in the international business and non-profit communities. Every new exchange student is another global citizen in progress—an individual primed to help build a more just and peaceful world.

And the impact doesn’t stop with the students. Host families’ lives are transformed by new members from across the globe and host communities gain greater cultural diversity.

Why Study Abroad with AFS?

With a network spanning 45+ countries and 70+ years of connecting lives across cultures, we have the scope and experience to offer authentic, immersive ways for students to study abroad and live around the world. To us, studying and living abroad is about becoming a global citizen.

AFS Arizona is a diverse team of students, volunteers, host families and returnees who are committed to providing a life-changing, cross-cultural experience, and welcome you to a second home. We hope you choose to become part of the legacy and join the 500,000 alumni who proudly call themselves AFSers!
