Youth For Understanding (YFU)
About
YFU participants gain intercultural understanding, learn mutual respect, and develop a sense of social responsibility. Your experience abroad gives you leadership competencies necessary to meet today’s challenges and benefit from the opportunities of a fast-changing global community. YFU programming allows you to immerse yourself in another culture, learn a new language and meet like-minded individuals who share in our mission.
With YFU, you'll appreciate the nuances of a foreign language, and test your confidence in new situations. When you join YFU, you join an expert global exchange network with almost 65 years of experience and over 40 countries for you to study abroad in. From application completion and travel accommodations to adjusting to your exchange, our experienced Admissions Counselors and volunteers are here to support you every step of the way.
