Maybe one of these organizations can help you: - wep - afs - yfu (youth for understanding All three are exchange organisations. I know them because I'm planning to become an exchange student too. I live in Belgium and I was thinking of going to Switzerland for a year. Good luck ;).

Being an exchange student is an experience unlike any other! I am a 5-time host mom and new volunteer with Youth For Understanding (YFU). Please forgive my bias for YFU, but when I've asked exchange students (both coming into the USA and leaving the USA) why they picked YFU, they basically said that YFU gave them more bang for their buck. My biggest piece of advice is to travel with a program listed with the Council for Standards on International Educational Travel (csiet.org). They routinely audit programs for quality. If you have not chosen a program with which to travel, I humbly and respectfully recommend YFU. Check out the website (yfu-usa.org) - it has an incredible amount of information. It has program details, requirements (age, language study, etc.), costs, links to contact former exchange students (and their parents), information on how to apply, etc. There is also a "For Parents" area. One thing I like about this area is that it shows where the money goes - 37% goes for airfare and traveling assistance...only 5% for 'overhead'. I will have to warn you that France is one of the few countries that requires previous language study (2 years by the time you go). Talk to you teachers and parents, check out the website, and good luck to you no matter what you choose!
