• Answer:

  First, you should just make a search here on YA! Several of us have answered this question EXTENSIVELY many, many times already! In general, however, you must apply to an exchange organization. The top three are AFS, YFU and Rotary. It's recommended that you go to a country where you will be working on language immersion -- one of the primary benefits of an exchange and one that will work for you the best in the future. You need to be careful about requesting France. There is a language requirement there (as well as the French speaking portions of Switzerland and Belgium) -- two years of high school French. You can go to the websites listed below for the three organizations and/or ask your high school counselor for a local contact. You then apply and go through an interview process. Rotary is the least expensive, but the most competitive. Good luck! http://www.yfu.org/ http://www.afs.org/afs_or/home http://www.rotary.org/en/StudentsAndYouth/youthprograms/RotaryYouthExchange/Pages/ridefault.aspx
