how to apply

To make the application process easier for our applicants, IYE uses an online application process. To apply for an exchange, follow the instructions below. We look forward to hearing from you!

  • Click on the APPLY TODAY link below.
  • You will then be directed to our online application form.
  • Complete both the ‘Youth’ and ‘Host’ portions of the application.
  • Once you fill out the application, click ‘submit’ at the bottom of the page.
  • You will then be directed to Paypal.com where you will pay the application fee.
  • IYE will send you a confirmation email when your application has been received.

IYE works tirelessly to find an exchange for every youth who applies. We are able to find an exchange match for 90% of our applicants. Unfortunately, due to odd numbers of applicants and specific countries youth wish to visit, we cannot always match every applicant. We don’t want anyone to take it personally if they cannot be matched. For those applicants we are unable to match, we gladly hold their applications for the following year and make it a top priority to find them an exchange.
