Description: Embark on a journey of discovery. A Youth For Understanding USA (YFU) study abroad program is an experience that will immerse you in the lives, cultures, and communities of a real family in one of more than 40 countries around the globe. An adventure where you'll learn in a year, semester or a summer, what life is like for teens in another part of the world. An experience that will change you and your view of our planet forever.

A YFU exchange program is the learning adventure of a lifetime. YFU is a homestay experience where you live with a carefully selected host family who has agreed to open their home and their hearts to you; providing room, board, and a caring home. You'll gain a global family, make new friends, and even attend a new school on academic programs. Have a journey you could never have imagined at home, and you'll discover that the YFU experience is a powerful engine for personal growth.

The heart of the Orient, China has long been fascinating the world with magnificent architecture, great inventions and undeniable charm.  For centuries, the country was isolated, enticing the rest of the world with somber traditions and rich customs.  One of the worlds oldest continuous civilizations is now an epicenter of economic growth, and it welcomes you to its doors.
