Share Your Life ... Host an AFS Exchange Student!
AFS Intercultural Programs is a non-profit organization that places exchange students into homes all around the world, including in Middle Tennessee.   Host families basically accept an exchange student from another country into their home for 11 months.  The student attends your local high school and learns about life in the United States firsthand.  This is a truly amazing experience for both the exchange student and the host family. Please click here for more information on the local-area AFS chapter: http://www.misstennky.org/?synapsecmd=view.hosting   If you have questions or want to volunteer, please feel free to call Brian at the AFS Eastern Region Service Center in Baltimore, Maryland, 1-800-876-2377, ext 124.  You may also e-mail AFShostcommittee@misstennky.org.   For more information on AFS, please go to: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AFS_Intercultural_Programs   We have an urgent need for several families by July 30, 2010, in order to host students arriving this fall!  We also need host families for students arriving in 2011.
