🌍 MyFamilyAbroad – Cultural Immersion Program

The Alliance Française of San Francisco is pleased to partner with MyFamilyAbroad, an immersion platform connecting American and French families for meaningful cultural exchanges. Whether you wish to host a French teenager, send your own child to France, or participate in a reciprocal exchange, MyFamilyAbroad offers a safe, simple, and affordable way to experience true immersion.

Families registering through the Alliance Française benefit from an exclusive discounted rate.

🇺🇸 Host a French Teenager in Your Home

Hosting is a unique opportunity to open your home—and your world—to a young French student (ages 12–18).
For 2 to 4 weeks, you welcome the teen as a new family member, sharing everyday life, traditions, and cultural experiences. No special activities or travel are required; your family routine becomes the immersion experience.

Benefits for your family:

• Share your culture and lifestyle
• Introduce French language and traditions into your home
• Build friendships across borders
• Participate in a safe and supportive program
  
  
  

🇫🇷 Send Your Teenager to a French Family

Your teen can live with a carefully selected French family and experience daily life from the inside—language, culture, food, school routines, and more. This is the most authentic way to discover France beyond tourism and develop real language confidence.

All French families are:

• Interviewed and vetted
• Matched based on interests and preferences
• Prepared and supported throughout the stay
  
  
  

MyFamilyAbroad makes the entire process simple, safe, and affordable, with constant support for both families.

🔄 Choose a Reciprocal Exchange

For families seeking a true two-way cultural experience, MyFamilyAbroad offers an exchange option:
Your teen stays with a French family, and you host their teen in return, either at the same time or at different times of the year.

This option allows both families to share responsibility, deepen cultural bonds, and create long-term connections.
