WALLA WALLA -- AFS Intercultural Programs, a student exchange program, is accept­ing host family applications in the Walla Walla Valley region for 2014 - 2015. High School slots are available for AFS students in Walla Walla, Waitsburg and Dayton. Participants are carefully matched, and volunteers are always on hand to make sure that you and your student have the support and tools needed for a positive experience.

Although students do not arrive before August, families interested in hosting can begin the application process now. Thousands of young people around the world are moving through the process and available for placement.
