AFS is one of the world's largest community-based, volunteer organizations dedicated to build a more peaceful and fair world by means of intercultural exchanges.
AFS Intercultura Brasil was founded in 1956 and today is one of the ten largest international AFS partners with 90 local chapters and over 800 active volunteers ready to welcome you!
AFS Intercultura Brasil provides more than 300 host families to foreign students each year and offers international exchanges to almost 400 Brazilian students every year.

AFS enables people to act as responsible global citizens working for peace and understanding in a diverse world. It acknowledges that peace is a dynamic concept threatened by injustice, inequity and intolerance.
AFS seeks to affirm faith in dignity and the worth of every human being in all nations and cultures. It encourages respect for human rights and fundamental freedom without distinction as to race, sex, language, religion or social status.
AFS activities are based on our core values of dignity, respect for differences, harmony, sensitivity and tolerance.
