The American International Youth Student Exchange Program is an on profit high school foreign exchange program in the United States, Europe, and other parts of the world. AIYSEP believes a greater international understanding is accomplished among people and countries through cultural and home stay programs. It offers qualified students a chance to spend a summer, semester or school year with a host family in America or abroad,
At present, American host families are being sought for 25 students from high schools in Europe and other foreign counties for the coming school year, Students will arrive in the United States in late August, attend the local school and return home in Tate Tune next year. The students, all fluent in English, have been screened by their school counselors in their home country and will receive medical insurance and spending money.
American families with small children are welcome to participate in the program. All families hosting a student for the year can deduct $50 a month for income tax purposes.
AIYSEP is also seeking American High School Students, ages 1519, who would like to spend a high school semester or year with a European family or to participate in a 4or6 week family stay abroad in the summer, Students are screened by ATYSEP school counselors and educators in the local schools.
