We’re excited to invite you to join AFS-USA and the Alliance for International Exchange in the Summer of Action—a nationwide advocacy campaign running from Memorial Day through Labor Day.
We’re sharing a story from a host family in California whose introduction to AFS began back in the 1970s!
Join fellow volunteers from across the country to share ideas, discuss what’s working in your communities, and learn about upcoming opportunities to support AFS-USA’s outreach and engagement efforts.
We’re continuing our Passport to Hosting: Global Spotlight Series by highlighting the stories of incoming exchange students from Asia.
Beginning this fall, AFS-USA will be hosting additional Community Summits around the US.

The Volunteer Recognition Committee (VRC) exists for one essential reason: to make sure that the time, energy, and dedication AFS volunteers pour into their work does not go unnoticed.
Numbers are powerful and consistency is important. Check out our new information sheet!
Anyone can nominate a worthy volunteer for an award!
Over the next four weeks, we’re inviting the AFS-USA community to spotlight students from around the world and encourage more families to host with AFS.
