AFS Intercultural Programs offers the RPCV community Third Goal opportunities by hosting an exchange student or volunteering as a liaison. Since 1947, AFS has been working with young people and their families, schools, and communities to help build a more just and peaceful world through student exchange. Make a difference in your RPCV community and the world by:

• opening your home and sharing your life with an international exchange student;
• volunteering as a liaison to meet with an exchange student and their host family each month; or
• volunteering to work with schools, local businesses, and organizations in your community.

Each year, AFS welcomes about 2,500 students from many countries where Peace Corps Volunteers serve. These outstanding young people were selected to study in U.S. high schools and are eager to experience what it's like to live in America. Host families provide a bed, meals, and the same guidance and support to students as they would to their own son or daughter. Families can host a student for an academic year, semester or 6-8 weeks upon their arrival in mid-August. Host families and students also receive support from local AFS Volunteers throughout their experience.
To learn more about this Third Goal opportunity, visit the AFS website to start the host family application, or volunteer registration process. Otherwise call 1-800-876-2377 or email for more information.
