“5 for 5” is our latest hosting campaign with the goal of finding host families across the US for all our students arriving this fall. Starting July 10, AFS-USA staff members and volunteers will receive an email with a simple challenge to do each day that week, amounting to five impactful tasks in five days! By completing each challenge, you’ll be helping to secure host families for our exchange students and promoting AFS in your community.  

This campaign will run for five days, and challenges will be shared in one email on July 10 with periodic reminders, as well as being posted on MyAFS Help & Learning. If you haven’t yet completed your 5 for 5 Hosted Student/Staff Matching Survey, please do so ASAP, as this information will help you complete one of the tasks next week!  

Use the hashtag WhyHostingMatters (#WhyHostingMatters) throughout the campaign so we can track your efforts and reshare any social media posts. Thank you in advance for participating in this much-needed campaign and creating wonderful hosting experiences for our community!
