The new Student Highlight Feature in MyAFS will spotlight specific students still needing host families. In some cases these highlighted students are identified as being high priority due to upcoming deadlines (like our Semester students) or just to draw your attention to particularly interesting students.

You can keep an eye out for these highlighted students in two places in MyAFS: the Dashboard (Snapshot) and the Placements Widget.

There are great resources to help you promote these students on the Promote AFS section of MyAFS Help & Learning.

A big thanks to Renee Hayes, Team Development Specialist for Northwest Ohio and Ohio River Valley Area Teams, for this suggestion!
