Congratulations to the Whittaker family from Ohio for being our Host Family of the Month (April)!

The Whittakers have been an amazing support for their Germany exchange daughter. They spend quality family time together laughing and hanging out. They recently enjoyed prom dress shopping, but they stay busy doing tons of activities. Their home is full of warmth and love, and they have made their exchange student incredibly happy!

Thank you, Whittaker Family, for being part of the greater AYA family!

We are now accepting nominations for Host Family of the Year! Send your nomination to Virginia Clark (vclark@aifs.org), especially if you have submitted your family for Host Family of the Month earlier this year! It’s a great, simple way to show your host family that you appreciate them!
