The program has three main objectives to help your child:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Become more comfortable<\/strong> with their new family and school<\/li>\n<li><strong>Learn to communicate and make friends<\/strong> with people from different cultures<\/li>\n<li>Begin to develop knowledge and skills, and understand that as young global citizens, they will need to participate, live, study, work, and become leaders in an increasingly diverse and global world<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>AFS&#8217;s educational objectives were created to support students in four areas:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Personal Values \u200b\u200band Skills \u2013<\/em><\/strong> Through their experience, students learn how to transform challenging situations into valuable opportunities for <strong>personal growth<\/strong>. They are encouraged to reevaluate their values, expand their abilities, and practice new life skills while learning more about themselves. Students generally become more confident, improve their creative and critical thinking skills, and learn to solve their own problems independently.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Building Interpersonal Relationships \u2013<\/em><\/strong> AFS students become fully engaged in daily life and work collaboratively with a variety of people in a new environment. This may include host families, community residents, educators, and other students. These skills are transferable to many other areas throughout your child&#8217;s life. Being part of a family and community, and attending school, <strong>improves their communication and language skills, and teaches young people how to work more effectively<\/strong> in groups and teams.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Intercultural Knowledge and Sensitivity \u2013<\/em><\/strong> The experience gained during an AFS exchange deepens students&#8217; knowledge of their home culture, as well as <strong>their understanding of the other culture<\/strong>. Learning to appreciate other cultures helps students see the value of cultural differences and understand how they make our world so powerful and interesting.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Global Awareness \u2013<\/em><\/strong> Students learn to appreciate and empathize with different perspectives on global issues and concerns, and thus understand that viable solutions often require cultural adaptation to succeed. Our goal is to encourage and enable students to work with other communities to <strong>help build a more peaceful and just world<\/strong>, here or around the world.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n<section class='av_toggle_section av-m2satfl3-4575dc58a1901a4c50070be02e31dbef'  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div role=\"tablist\" class=\"single_toggle\" data-tags=\"{All} \"  ><p id='toggle-toggle-id-6' data-fake-id='#toggle-id-6' class='toggler  av-title-above '  itemprop=\"headline\"  role='tab' tabindex='0' aria-controls='toggle-id-6' data-slide-speed=\"200\" data-title=\"How will AFS help my child adjust to their new family, school, and community?\" data-title-open=\"\" data-aria_collapsed=\"Click to expand: How will AFS help my child adjust to their new family, school, and community?\" data-aria_expanded=\"Click to collapse: How will AFS help my child adjust to their new family, school, and community?\">How will AFS help my child adjust to their new family, school, and community?<span class=\"toggle_icon\"><span class=\"vert_icon\"><\/span><span class=\"hor_icon\"><\/span><\/span><\/p><div id='toggle-id-6' aria-labelledby='toggle-toggle-id-6' role='region' class='toggle_wrap  av-title-above'  ><div class='toggle_content invers-color '  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>AFS staff, volunteers, and host families want to make your child&#8217;s experience enjoyable and memorable.
