Youth Exchange Platforms

AIFL’s various youth-based programs, including our Youth Ambassador Student Exchange (YASE) and Youth Ambassador Technology Exchange (YATE), are all designed to bring together Israeli and American children and young adults to create long-term bonds of friendship.

Youth Ambassador Student Exchange (YASE)

Thousands of 10th and 11th graders have been involved in this month-long chaperoned exchange program in which they live in each other’s respective homes. Because YASE takes place while high school is still in session, students also attend school every day with their hosts.
