What do I get out of it?

• Adventure, excitement and a fantastic time. An AFS exchange is living in a totally different country with new friends, a new family, learning about a new language and culture. The stories and the people you get to know during a year of seeing, hearing, living and learning on the other side of the world is something you will never forget.
• Global Citizen. International Ambassador. That’s you! You’ll become part of an international network of “AFS ambassadors” representing your country and culture. You become a confident and competent global citizen and understand the world you live in much better. You gain outlook, maturity and self-confidence as you step out of your comfort zone and learn about the real world from an international perspective.
• Stand out. Develop an edge. Tomorrow’s Leader. With AFS you’ll be doing something that is really unique. The experience of an AFS Year & Semester Program has proven to be a significant benefit for employment opportunities and for tertiary studies. There’s the confidence, maturity and the leadership skills. The career profile of AFS program returnees over the past years is impressive. A year invested now could make a world of difference for your career.
