Discover Yourself with YFU
Program Description
For YFU students, studying abroad is not just a journey of distance and geography, but of culture and self-transformation. New and challenging experiences await high school students who want to be immersed in a different culture. American high school students or recent graduates who want to experience life abroad are encouraged to register in one of 100 programs in 40 different countries.
In addition to our high school programs, YFU also offers gap year study abroad opportunities for graduating seniors. With gap year, students will experience a new culture and learn a new language by living with a host family in their community. Academic programs vary by country. In some, students will attend a local high school and in others students will participate in college-level courses. Other options include programs with a focus on the arts, cultural tours, and more.
