Cultural exchange programs expose students to people from different national, religious, geographic and socio-economic backgrounds. In doing so, these programs help students learn how to listen and communicate ideas to develop a greater understanding of diversity. In turn, students build personal relationships, understand a broader range of perspectives and develop language and interpersonal skills. Partner with AIFS Foundation today to support the need for communication and participation in our multicultural society and to champion for a globally competent workforce.

“Bringing the AYA exchange students
into our school system has helped our
students to fulfill our Mission Statement,
which is: To empower our students to
succeed in the 21st century. This program
helps the students to see the world
through the eyes of someone from
another culture. Because of this program,
our world is becoming more closely
connected in many great ways...”
