Happy Father’s Day AYA Host Dads!

June 17, 2016 AYA Leave a Comment

Academic Year in America Celebrates Host Father's DayThank you to all of the host dads across the country. The opportunity you give AYA students to see what life is like in the U.S. and become a part of an American family is remarkable. Thanks for the warm welcome and fatherly support you provide our international students.

Just as we praised our host moms on Mother’s Day, we’d be remiss if we didn’t acknowledge that host dads are heroes too! Our wonderful host dads empower AYA students with comfort, guidance and support. Thanks to their generosity, communities across the country are enriched and so many students have the opportunity to participate in cultural exchange and international education.

In celebration of Father’s Day, we hope everyone will take the time to honor the contribution of the father figures in our lives. With sincere appreciation, we wish dads everywhere a very happy Father’s Day.
