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. 

Youth Ambassador Technology Exchange (YATE)

YATE is a unique long-term exchange and cooperation of Israeli and American high school students interested in STEM studies. The ultimate goal is to unite the students, while they jointly design, assemble and launch nano-satellites; learn about their common cultural traditions; and build long-lasting bonds.
