The Youths Go Abroad program is a year-long immersion program for high school students lasting 10 to 12 months. Students stay with a host family and go to school. Program options include a year abroad, a semester abroad or an intensive summer program. AFS also organizes activities so that individuals can meet other participants. Although there may not be any formal language classes included in the curriculum, complete immersion means that participants will most likely learn the language quickly.
