Country Specific Guides

These guides were developed to help U.S host families better understand the cultures of AFS host students from specific countries. The majority of these guides were developed to support our host students that come to us through the U.S Department of State Scholarship Programs (YES, CB, NSLI-Y). These guides are excellent resources not just for our families hosting students from these countries, but also for our volunteers and U.S participants interested in these countries and programs.
