In May and June, AFS Volunteer Liaisons will receive a text message directly to their phone reminding them to complete and record that month’s contact and providing a link directly to the MyAFS Contacts and Visits widget. These texts will be sent on the 21st of each month to liaisons with an unrecorded student and/or host family contact for the current month.

If a liaison has already conducted that month’s contacts, they will not receive a text.

We hope that this new feature will improve compliance for monthly contacts by facilitating quick access to MyAFS and offering an alternative means of communication to the reminder emails.

Please note the text will include an option to opt out of future messages.
