In the Season 5 finale of The AFS Exchange podcast, we tackle the reality of exchange head-on: the moments of challenge that define true growth. Hear firsthand stories from former AFS students who successfully navigated difficult situations in the U.S. and abroad, including communication barriers, integrating into school life, and coping with loss. 
 
Amanda and John from AFS-USA’s Participant Support and Learning Team join us to pull back the curtain on the support system AFS provides. They share insights and actionable guidance on how you can access help, stay grounded, and transform crises into personal milestones. 

Whether you’re a student needing strategies, a host family looking for guidance, or a volunteer, this episode provides essential tools to manage and grow through the ups and downs of your AFS journey.
