Exchange Day <\/strong>is coming soon on August 5, and APIA was excited to celebrate with a shoe drive.  Held on the first Monday in August, Exchange Day is a nationwide celebration of the power of international exchange. Program participants come together with their American hosts to share cultural experiences, give back to their communities, and have some fun. This day is also an opportunity to raise awareness of international exchange programs and spread the word about the power of cultural exchange.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

APIA has historically celebrated Exchange Day in August with shoe drives, au pair get togethers, and more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
