Organizations Filed Purposes:
HOSTEL STAY: AYH PROVIDES A NETWORK OF 45 HOSTELS NATIONWIDE, WHERE IN 2019 WE HOSTED TRAVELERS FROM MORE THAN 80 COUNTRIES AND MORE THAN 1 MILLION OVERNIGHTS ANNUALLY. THE HOSTEL STAY CREATES THE OPPORTUNITY FOR CULTURAL EXCHANGE AND UNDERSTANDING AND IS FUNDAMENTAL TO ALL OTHER PROGRAMS WE OFFER. EACH HOSTEL IS PURPOSELY DESIGNED WITH SPACES AND AMENITIES THAT BRING PEOPLE TOGETHER AND ENCOURAGE INTERACTION IN AN INCLUSIVE AND INVITING WAY. WE STRATEGICALLY DEVELOP AND USE SPACES TO DELIVER CULTURAL EXCHANGE EXPERIENCES TO OUR GUESTS AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS. AS TRAVELERS GET TO KNOW EACH OTHER, THEY DISCOVER THEIR SIMILARITIES AND DIFFERENCES, BREAK DOWN STEREOTYPES AND SOCIAL BARRIERS, EXPAND WORLD VIEWS, AND HELP TO CREATE A MORE TOLERANT WORLD.
LEARNING PROGRAMS: AYH DELIVERS EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING PROGRAMS AND ACTIVITIES IN AYH HOSTELS AND COMMUNITIES TO FACILITATE THE SHARING OF CULTURAL PERSPECTIVES AMONG GUESTS, AND FOR CONNECTING GUESTS WITH THE LOCAL COMMUNITY. WE ENCOURAGE GUESTS AND COMMUNITY PARTICIPANTS TO BETTER UNDERSTAND OTHER CULTURES, REFLECT ON THEIR OWN PERSPECTIVES AND UNDERSTANDING, AND TAKE ACTIONS CONSISTENT WITH THEIR LEARNINGS. PROGRAM DESIGN IS ALIGNED WITH AMERICAN ASSOCIATION OF COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES (AACU) LEARNING RUBRICS IN THE DISCIPLINES OF INTERCULTURAL COMMUNICATION, CIVIC ENGAGEMENT AND GLOBAL CITIZENSHIP. EACH YEAR, IN ADDITION TO THE HOSTEL STAY PROGRAM, AYH DELIVERS MORE THAN 6,000 FACILITATED LEARNING PROGRAMS NATIONWIDE TO MORE THAN 100,000 PARTICIPANTS.
NATIONAL SIGNATURE PROGRAMS: AYH DELIVERS NATIONAL SCOPE PROGRAMS THAT PROVIDE OPPORTUNITIES FOR PEOPLE TO ENHANCE THEIR INTERCULTURAL UNDERSTANDING AND CONTRIBUTE TO A MORE TOLERANT WORLD. TRAVEL SCHOLARSHIP GRANTS GIVE QUALIFIED 18 TO 30-YEAR OLDS THE OPPORTUNITY TO ENGAGE IN EDUCATIONAL TRAVEL WITHIN THE USA AND AROUND THE WORLD. SLEEP FOR PEACE ENGAGES HOSTEL GUESTS AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS IN ACTIVITIES THAT CELEBRATE THE UNITED NATIONS' INTERNATIONAL DAY OF PEACE AND EXPLORE HOW THEY CAN CONTRIBUTE TO A PEACEFUL SOCIETY. THE GREAT HOSTEL GIVE BACK PROGRAM OFFERS GROUPS OF SIX OR MORE PEOPLE AN OPPORTUNITY TO RECEIVE A FREE NIGHT'S STAY AT OUR HOSTELS DURING THE MONTHS OF JANUARY AND FEBRUARY FOR EACH DAY THEIR MEMBERS VOLUNTEER IN THE SURROUNDING COMMUNITY. THESE AND OTHER SIGNATURE PROGRAMS PROMOTE CROSS-CULTURAL EXCHANGE, MUTUAL UNDERSTANDING AND TOLERANCE.
