AFS Year Program

AFS Program

For more than 90 years in the world and 55 years in Indonesia, AFS Program has offered young people exciting and dynamic learning opportunities through intercultural programs. At its core are programs that include physical exchanges, service learning, and volunteerism that directly impact youth engagement and create opportunities that build long-lasting understanding and respect for differences.

AFS Program gives you opportunities to develop yourself to become young Indonesian future leaders by having a worthwhile exchanges experience in another country, where you would learn about yourselves, learning how we perceive others who are especially different from us, learn how to build a good relationship, positive communication and ability to work together in fostering respect, empathy and understanding towards others.

You will experience living with a host family and attend school in a foreign country. Of course, you will definitely experience a totally new way of life, new culture, lifestyle and family values, new language and finally gain intercultural skills.

To make the most of your experience, create good relationship with your host family, get involved in the many curricular and extracurricular activities available at your local school and local community. AFS also organizes activities so that you can meet other participants from over 50 AFS countries to provide you with the ultimate intercultural experience!

If you are interested in experiencing a “new world”, having an one year experience abroad as a young Indonesian ambassador, sign up for the AFS Year program!
