Description: Get ready to 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 on one of more than 40 countries around the globe. An adventure where you'll learn---in 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 experience 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 news 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.

Bonjour! Language, history, music, scenic views and much, much more. France is a global center for art, cinema, fashion and cuisine. A proud people with a strong national identity, the French embrace the diversity of their culture. Known for its robust agricultural industry, France is home to over 365 different cheeses; you could perhaps try one a day while visiting its castles, cathedrals, and other architectural beauties. Explore mountains, prairies, and beaches to find out why France is a favorite of the casual observer and long-term acquaintance alike.
