Support Tips for Host Families and Local Coordinators

YFU USA is grounded in a longstanding tradition of quality care for exchange students and volunteer host families. Year after year, YFU has made it a priority to support participants every step along the way – month by month. We know the exchange experience is enhanced when Local Coordinators do more than just greet students at the airport; a YFU participant should know and trust their Local Coordinator. And now, with the State Department’s increased scrutiny it is even more important for Local Coordinators to establish and maintain meaningful relationships with both students and host families.

We hope these timely tips will provide you with the materials necessary to have comfortable and meaningful conversations during your monthly meetings. As always, thank you for the work you do; YFU could not exist without our Local Coordinators!
