How long are abroad programs after high school?

High school teen study abroad programs?

• Hey, I hear that colleges consider study abroad programs for high schools students a HUGE boost, my summer is booked this year (doing a lot of things for college, I am doing accelerated courses, getting a job, and volunteering at a local university medical center). I will also try to get a job as a caddy next year but that starts really early in the year and will still be able to study abroad. Anyway, I was just curious if anybody knew ANYTHING about this abroad stuff. Do you even study? Or do you just help out, or what?

• Answer:

  YFU. youth for understanding. THey have TONS of scholarships. And when i last checked they had more scholarships and applicants. They were giving them away to people they didnt want to because they had to give them away. i went to japan for 6 weeks. i did not speak a word of japanese. i went to high school. i helped in english classes. i went to the other classes but as i did not speak japanese i sat in the back and taught myself the alphabet. I went to shodo class and PE a lot.
