Open-Minded Host Families Needed

The Kennedy-Lugar YES (Youth Exchange and Study) program is a bi-partisan program created to promote cultural understanding between the U.S. and countries with significant Muslim populations.  High school students from these countries receive a scholarship to study in the U.S., see what our country is really like, and educate us about their home countries.  The scholarship is very competitive and only 4% of the students applying are chosen.  We still have several YES program participants without a host family for the year.  Please contact Joey Danielsen Adams at jdanielsenadams@ayusa.org if you would like more information about becoming a host families for one of these great students.
