Student Exchanges = Cultural Experiences

You don't have to be a 20-something jetsetter to experience different cultures. In fact, you don't even need your high school to travel. The US Government has its own programs (see title link), such as the Youth Exchange and Study (Y.E.S.) Program which helps to connect families in cultural exchanges. Not ready to travel the world for a whole semester? You can experience a new culture in the comfort of your own home, by HOSTING an exchange student from another country. It could be a life-changing experience, not to mention a life-long friendship.
