Important Forms for Host Families and Students

AYA’s primary concern is the safety and well being of our students. Should you or someone you know on our program need help, please contact our national office support hotline which is open 24 hours a day and seven days a week at 1-800-322-4678. You may also call our direct line at 203-399-5417 or email us at aya.info@aifs.org.

Effective August 1, 2009, the U.S. Department of State implemented a toll free number and email address that may be used by host families, exchange students and the public to report circumstances impacting the student's health, safety and well being during their exchange visitor programs. Their number is 1-866-283-9090 and the email address is jvisas@state.gov.

Begin an exciting opportunity to engage in cultural exchange today!
