Warm greetings and Happy Memorial Day Weekend!

The NSLI-Y and YES Abroad staff are happy to share that a list of 2025-26 NSLI-Y and YES Abroad finalists from your area has been posted to MyAFS Help&Learning.

As privacy measure, links to the data for each area shared with Interviewers from that region, and only available to registered AFS Volunteers using their AFS Global Link username and password. The list(s) will be available until May 31.

Accessing the data:

• If you were an Interviewer 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 are having difficulties viewing the data for your area, request assistance by contacting us at the above email.

Data privacy:

• The NSLI-Y and YES Abroad lists are accurate as of May 22, 2025. We are happy to now be able to include the country placement as well as language.
• 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 that candidate has previously expressed interest in being contacted by AFS.

• The data is confidential to registered AFS Volunteers in your geographic area and must not be shared outside of registered AFS Volunteers in your area. The lists will be removed on May 31.

We sincerely appreciate your work on the Interview Season and are grateful to everyone who was involved in successfully completing another NSLI-Y and YES Abroad interview season! Please find here our thank you letter to all volunteers for helping complete more than 1,000 interviews which was sent March 12, 2025.
