Work for AYUSA
Working with exchange students has the potential to be one of the most important things you will ever do. Not only are you bringing diversity and understanding to your community, but you are having a direct impact on the life of a young person.
By becoming a Community Representative for AYUSA, you’ll spend a few hours of your week supporting and encouraging a foreign exchange student as they adapt to their new American life. From your first day working with AYUSA, you will receive encouragement and support from your Regional Director and Headquarters staff. Working with exchange students is a rewarding and life-changing experience for our field staff. Through your visits and conversations with your students and host families, you will learn more about the many cultures that make up your community and world.
As you continue to work with your students, host families and schools, you will find that your capacity for cultural understanding and communication will grow beyond your wildest expectations. Many, if not most, of our staff find that they become leaders in their communities through their work with AYUSA. The strong friendships you’ll build and the cross-cultural enrichment you’ll experience will make your international family continue to grow year after year.
This wonderful and rewarding cultural experience can be done in addition to your current full-time or part-time career, providing you with a supplemental income and a chance to learn and grow along with your students. A Regional Director near you looks forward to welcoming you into our family.
