What kind of family makes a good AFS host family? Is my family suitable?
We look for a secure, flexible, interested family who is willing to share their life with a student from another country. And while we encourage families with teenagers to host, families of all shapes and sizes have had worthwhile and satisfying hosting experiences. AFS families can be married couples with or without children, empty nesters, or even single parents. All types of families have forged bonds of love, learning and friendship as AFS hosts.
