There’s no "cookie-cutter" AFS host family- a big heart is always the perfect fit ❤, Check out these stories of the magic hosting an AFS teen brought to:
- A family with little ones: Where the youngest still looks up at the night sky 6 months later and says, "The moon must look just like this in Germany where my big sister is!" 🥺
-A whānau with no kids: Who found a whole new spark of youthful energy and fun filling their home.
-A single-parent whānau: Who loved the experience so deeply they say they’d do it all over again in a heartbeat!

Family is what you make it, and love spans the whole globe. Enquire with us about hosting an AFS exchange student today 🌍

AFS is sending 6 Kiwi educators on a fully funded, 6-week immersion into the heart of India, supported by the Prime Minister's Scholarship for Asia (worth over $10,000 per person).

The selected educators will be embedded at the prestigious Emerald Heights International School, collaborating with local teachers, sharing New Zealand culture with students, and bringing back a global perspective to transform their classrooms. The Diwali Festival on 6 November will be an absolute highlight 🎆🎇✨.

Applicants will need their school’s endorsement to apply.

India is a country of absolute magic. It’s a breathtaking intersection of ancient traditions, unbelievable street food, cricket-mad energy, and some of the warmest hospitality on the planet. The culture is vibrant, loud, and deeply beautiful.

As you know, AFS is all about intercultural exchange, and sometimes that happens right in your own home. We have 2 students from India looking to share their culture with a Kiwi whānau this Winter.

Poignant moments our three AFS Gallipoli Youth Award recipients will remember about their time in Türkiye forever.

Takikawa, Lexie, and Tim travelled historic grounds and stayed with welcoming host families in Türkiye. By commemorating the war at the ANZAC service in Gallipoli (with the Governor General🩵), they honoured both their family's past and our shared mission for peace.

Thanks again to the AFS Türkiye, the AFS Educational Trust, the Michael Jull Memorial Trust, the NZ Embassy in Türkiye for helping us to make this experience possible.🕊
