YES Consortium

A unique aspect of YES is that it leverages the strengths of several consortia of like-minded exchange organizations, enabling the YES Program to operate in over 25 countries in Africa, the Middle East, and Asia.

For students from Egypt, Ghana, India, Indonesia, Kenya, Malaysia, Philippines, Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Thailand, four exchange organizations work in partnership to arrange the homestays and support host families and students throughout the exchange: AFS-USA (formerly the American Field Service), AIFS Foundation (American Institute for Foreign Study Foundation), PAX (Program of Academic Exchange) and ACES (American Cultural Exchange Service).
Together these organizations represent more than a century of experience delivering quality exchange programs.

In other YES countries, the program is operated by additional US organizations such as AYUSA and American Councils for International Education.
