Alumni Parent Referral
If you would like to learn about the experiences of YFU parents, you may e-mail your questions to any of these YFU Alumni Parents. Please include "YFU Parent Referral" in the subject line of your email. Their children have participated on a YFU program and they would be glad to share their YFU experience with you.
If you have questions regarding specific program components, admissions, tuition, or other program-specific information, please e-mail our admissions office. You may also talk to an admissions counselor by calling toll-free 1.800.TEENAGE (1.800.833.6243).

"We had an excellent experience with YFU, and our son Gabriel had a life changing experience as a result of his travels to Japan. He was very fond of his host family, and they felt the same. They came to visit us a few months ago, and plan to visit again. We hope to accept their invitation to visit Japan. We decided to host a YFU student, and Dan from Germany spent the last school year with us. This was also a very good experience, and we plan to visit Dan and his family in Germany next year."
