Get involved and connect with other alumni and YFU! Just pick something that appeals to you!

There are ways of getting involved at any time in your life if you want to share your YFU experiences with others -- whether you're looking for those who went on exchange with you, talking to students who are interested in going on exchange, or sharing an event in the Alumni Corner.

Facebook and MySpace: There are many Facebook and MySpace sites by YFU alumni and current students. The official YFU-USA sites are myspace.com/yfu_usa and in Facebook, search specifically for Youth For Understanding USA.

Alumni Contact Network:
Alumni volunteers contact the members of their exchange class, i.e., same country, year and program length, in order to reconnect them with YFU USA.

Alumni Corner:
Full of stories from alumni about their exchanges, what's happened since they've been back and how YFU has made an impact on their lives, this section is one of the most popular on the website. If you'd like to contribute a story, please let us know.

Alumni Link:
This newsletter is a publication of the National Alumni Council (NAC). You can read about what the Council and alumni around the country are doing.

Alumni Referral:
YFU alumni from the past five years to present communicate with students interested in a YFU exchange program or who are already enrolled. Referral participants are first screened in a telephone interview -- if you went on exchange longer than five years ago, we need screeners, too!

Email Group:
This email group is designed to promote communication between various YFU constituencies through the use of an email discussion group.

Help Recruit Host Families:
YFU has come up with nine ways you can help recruit host families.
