YOUTH FOR UNDERSTANDING USA INC

Whether a recent graduate, a student who has deferred college admissions, or someone still deciding what’s next, YFU offers young adults, college and volunteer exchange opportunities that allow them to make a difference while gaining a greater understanding of another culture.

YFU Adult Study Tours offer unique group travel opportunities for adults (19+). Participants enjoy set itineraries and group leaders who help ensure they get the most of their short-term exchange experience.

An exciting opportunity for educators and their students to explore unique cultural centers while still experiencing the closeness of a YFU host family for 2-3 weeks over summer break.

YFU offers international high school and college students a unique opportunity to study in the U.S. While on the Education Select F1 program, students may choose to live with a carefully selected host family or, if preferred, students may select a boarding school of their choosing. Academically focused, these programs are a wonderful alternative for students who may not have access to YFU in their home countries but still wish to have the YFU experience.

YFU offers students from around the globe opportunities to partake in two-week educational adventure to the USA. Students receive project-based English language instruction two days per week and participate in visits to cultural and community sites and events chaperoned by YFU volunteers while spending evenings with their YFU host family.
