======================
AFS, the leading international exchange organization for high school
students, now takes adults 19 and older. AFS programs provide
crosscultural experiences. That means you do more in a foreign country
than just try to make other people speak your language. You live with a
host family and immerse yourself in their culture. April 7 is the
deadline for applications for programs that include trips to the Amazon,
Ireland, Tuscany, Quebec, China, Latin America, Thailand and an
introduction to Mexican archaeology.

HELPING OUT
=============
The Council on International Educational Exchange (IEE) has published
its 1986 deadline for young adults to register for its program of
volunteer work in foreign countries and the United States. It includes
recreational programs for handicapped children, restoration of castles
and historic monuments, nature conservation, archaeological digs,
construction of hiking trails and working with senior citizens.
Volunteers are responsible for their own transportation costs to the
projects and for a $100 program fee. They are provided with room and
board and transportation to the work site, and some recreational and
cultural activities. The application deadline is May 1.
