2021-22 NSLI-Y and YES Abroad Finalist Information Available

Please note that this message is internal and for reference by AFS-USA Volunteers who worked on the NSLI-Y and YES Abroad Interview Season.

 

Warm greetings and we hope this message finds you well during these unusual times.

The NSLI-Y and YES Abroad staff are happy to share that a list of 2021-22 NSLI-Y Virtual Summer Intensive (VSI), NSLI-Y year program, and YES Abroad finalists from your area have been sent to the respective Interview Coordinator for the NSLI-Y/YES Abroad Interview Season. As explained here, some students’ initial host country assignments shifted due to the U.S. Department of State’s decisions regarding which countries were approved for travel this year –these lists reflect each student’s current (revised) placement.

As a student privacy measure, links to the data are only sent to Interview Coordinators, and only available to registered AFS Volunteers using their AFS Global Link username and password. The list(s) will be available until August 17. Accessing the data:

  • If you were an Interview Coordinator for the NSLI-Y/YES Abroad Interview Season and have not received the list email as of this posting, please reach us at nsliforyouth@afsusa.org.
  • If you were an Interviewer for the NSLI-Y/YES Abroad Interview Season and have not received data for your area, please reach your Interview Coordinator to request the list(s) for your area. If you do not know or cannot reach your Interview Coordinator, please contact us at nsliforyouth@afsusa.org.

Data privacy:

  • The NSLI-Y and YES Abroad lists are accurate as of August 10.
  • The lists do not contain students who declined finalist offers or candidates selected as alternates who were not later offered a finalist slot.
  • Finalists who have been assigned to programs implemented by AFS are listed in bold.
    • Finalists who have been assigned to other implementing organizations must not be contacted by AFS unless they have previously expressed interest in being contacted by AFS.

The lists will be removed on August 17 and the data is confidential to registered AFS Volunteers –the data must not be shared outside of registered AFS Volunteers in your area. More information about the second annual NSLI-Y Virtual Summer Intensive is available here and here.

We sincerely appreciate your work on the Interview Season during these difficult times, and we thank everyone who was involved in successfully complete another NSLI-Y and YES Abroad interview season!
