One of the biggest parts of a YFU exchange experience is the opportunity to stay with a native host family. Being with a host family has allowed me to experience and become a part of their everyday life. This is a great way to experience the cultural immersion in your host country, and it sure workedI was blessed with an amazing host family. My host family included my host mother, father, grandfather, brother, and sister. They all made such an effort to give me a great experience in Japan, and I certainly can't thank them enough!

This is where you come in and can be so beneficial to the program and the student, acting as both parent and ambassador.
