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
