Rep. Chellie Pingree is leading a Dear Colleague letter to Secretary Rubio about the grants freeze. You can see the text of the letter here. We ask that you please reach out to your Members of Congress to ask them to co-sign the letter.

We need immediate action from Congress to demand the Department of State release these critical funds. We urge you to contact your Senators and Representatives and share the real impact of this funding freeze—on students, host families, and communities across the U.S.
If you’re wondering what you can do to help during this very challenging time, let me tell you in a very straightforward way – we need you to welcome a student into your home for a few weeks this fall to ensure they can participate on the program and start school.

Please take a few minutes to watch this video message.
Please consider welcoming one or more of these students into your home for a few weeks while a permanent family can be found.
President and CEO of AFS-USA, Tara Hofmann, shares her gratitude towards host families and their contributions.
Your service to AFS-USA is our greatest resource. I need to talk with you about your invaluable contributions and share an important direction we need to take.
The news today has been difficult to watch and all of us involved with AFS hope to see peace restored through non-violent means. This message was sent today to the parents/guardians of all US students currently hosted in Europe.
We are sincerely thankful to all our volunteers who are conducting NSLI-Y and YES Abroad candidate interviews this year…
