For students: Spending a year in the U.S. changes the lives of Ayusa’s international exchange students and their host families and communities. Our students can experience life as American teenagers, perfect their English-speaking skills, and grow into young adults ready to leave their mark on the world. They also give back with their enthusiasm, dedication, and involvement. Their energy and perspective are contagious, and their presence creates a sense of global unity.
