Program areas at HI-USA

Hostel stay: ayh provides a network of 15 Hostels nationwide, and in a typical year hosts travelers from more than 80 countries with over 500,000 guest overnight stays 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 traveler 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.
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 old's the opportunity to engage in educational travel within the USA and around the world. Say hi 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. Iou respect brings young people together from western and middle eastern countries including the us, germany, france, tunisia, lebanon and egypt for two week hostel based intensive dialogue, travel and reflection. These and other signature programs promote cross-cultural exchange, mutual understanding and tolerance.
Guest learning programs: ayh delivers experiential learning programs and activities in ayh Hostels to facilitate the sharing of cultural perspectives among guests, and for connecting guests with the local community. Through volunteer facilitation, programs provide guests with opportunities 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 value rubrics in the disciplines of intercultural communication, civic engagement and global citizenship.
