Youth Programs Division
The Youth Programs Division is committed to empowering the successor generation and establishing long-lasting ties between the United States and other countries through exchange programs and institutional partnerships. Programs focus primarily on secondary schools and promote mutual understanding, leadership development, educational transformation, and democratic ideals.
If you are interested in volunteering as a host family for one of the youth exchange programs, visit the U.S. Department of State's Volunteer Diplomats site.
For information about youth exchange organizations and standards for the industry, visit the website of the Council on Standards for International Educational Travel (CSIET).
