What happens when students swap international flights for cross-country road trips, and global exchange concepts are brought right to our own backyard?
In our latest episode of the AFS Exchange podcast, we explore AFS-USA’s pilot domestic exchange programs launched this past summer.
We take you inside the Pacific Northwest pilot with veteran AFS volunteer Joanne and participant Maisy, who discovered that a single week away from home can completely shift your worldview and build lifelong confidence. We also hear from Chicago host dad David on why hosting a domestic exchange student wasn’t too different from hosting a “traditional” AFS student.
Learn how short-term domestic programs are redefining intercultural learning, fostering community dialogue, and proving that transformative growth doesn’t require a passport!
