Description:
Get ready to embark on a journey of discovery. A Youth For Understanding USA (YFU) study abroad program is the 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. Embark on a journey through Russia's history, tradition and national culture as it continues to transform itself. Living with a Russian host family in the largest European country is an ideal way to learn about the people, language and culture of this influential nation.
