Families in the Czech Republic tend to be very close, and will surely welcome you with open arms. It is not uncommon for extended families to get together to enjoy meals or outdoor activities like cross country skiing, hockey, hiking, and soccer. 

Another way you will become part of the Czech culture is through attending a local high school. You will be part of a group of approximately 25-30 students that will spend each day of the school week together attending classes, which may include a choice of electives in addition to the core curriculum. 

A YFU exchange program is the learning adventure of a lifetime. YFU is a homestay experience where you will live with a carefully selected host family who has agreed to open their home and their hearts to you, providing room, board and a caring home. You'll gain a global family, make new friends, and attend a new school. Have a journey you could have never imagined at home, and you'll discover that the YFU experience is a powerful engine for personal growth.
