COMING
TO SOUTH AFRICA ON AN EXCHANGE PROGRAM
WITH YFU... has
all the ingredients of providing
you with one of the most remarkable
experiences of your life! It is
a country and nation that will leave
you with a smile on your face, but
also the odd tear... it is stunningly
beautiful with some of the earth's
most majestic nature and friendliest
people, yet at the same time also
wounded by some harsh realities
such as poverty in many communities.
YFU South Africa attempts to offer
a program for international incoming
students that makes them aware of
all the aspects of our unique country.
On this page, you can read more
about the different programs we
offer. You can also read through
our list of tips and advice on what
to expect, what to do, what not
to do, and how to make your experience
as rewarding as possible. |

a hostfamily... |

BECOME
PART OF THE GLOBAL YFU FAMILY... by hosting an
international YFU exchange student! The aim of the YFU hosting
program is to achieve full integration of the student into
your family - not to become a guest in your home, but a
family member as your own son, daughter, brother or sister.
Your family can volunteer to host a student for the full
year, or offer your assistance as a temporary family. For
more information on hosting, contact the YFU office or your
regional YFU representative. Download the YFU hostfamily
application form by clicking
