American Exchange Project

The American Exchange Project gives graduating high school seniors a two-week adventure like no other: a free trip to a community in the United States very different from their own, and the chance to welcome students from across the nation to our hometown for the same epic experience.

An American Exchange Project Travel Week is for walking the Brooklyn Bridge, riding on horseback in Dodge City, Kansas, or learning to trap lobsters in Maine. It’s for exploring what a graduating senior can do after high school by visiting Silicon Valley in California or a production studio in Nashville. Meanwhile, during our Hometown Week, July 2-9, 2025, students will celebrate our national birthday, the 4th of July and realize why "It's About the Climate." Our AEP seniors are designing an itinerary that introduces them to how great it is growing up in rural Oregon. And both weeks—home and away—are all-expenses-paid.

We need host families! Look over the AEP FAQs and sign up at AEP Host Family! If you have any questions, please email Lois MacMillan at lmacmillan@americanexchangeproject.org
