High School Exchange Program Open House on January 14

SAN FRANCISCO, CA – On Wednesday, January 14, 2009, Academic Year in America (AYA), a not-for-profit high school exchange organization, will host an open house and informational session.

Join AYA staff between 5pm and 7pm at 425 Market Street, Suite 2200, in San Francisco to ask questions and to learn how to become an AYA Local Coordinator and earn a free trip to Buenos Aires, Argentina, this November. Prizes will also be raffled off to attendees. Interested parties can RSVP to Alexis Mason at (800) 322-4678, ext. 5085 or at amason@aifs.org.

Becoming an AYA Local Coordinator is a great opportunity for people who are interested in learning about different cultures, love to travel around the world, and have a passion for teaching youth. Local Coordinators help to recruit host families, secure school enrollments, and supervise students throughout the year.
