The American Institute for Foreign Study (Australia) Pty Ltd opened its Australian office in 1999 and began offering its Camp America and Au Pair in America programs to young Australians. In 2005, AIFS commenced offering inbound programs and currently facilitates cultural exchange programs for more than 2,000 young people.
We take our commitment to ‘give back’ seriously. Our contribution to AIFS’ motto ‘join the world’ is not just through deeds, but also through our grants, scholarships and donations.
It is good to know that when you join Camp America, you are contributing to the work we do around the globe to help change the lives of those in need.
The Cyril Taylor Charitable Foundation (CTCF) was established by AIFS founder, Sir Cyril Taylor many years ago with its profits going exclusively to charitable purposes.
Each year, AIFS and CTCF support a range of funding projects and scholarships. In 2026, we approved donations totalling approximately US$3 million across the following 30 non-profit organisations.
