AFS has launched some exciting virtual engagement opportunities for youth around the world, one of them being the Student Learning Journey 2.0. This upgraded Student Learning Journey builds on local orientations, monthly contacts and learning reflections by including the opportunity for semester and year program students to meet virtually and learn as part of a global cohort, before during and after their exchange experience.
AFS has joined forces with the University of Pennsylvania’s (UPenn) to create an updated curriculum targeted to AFS exchange participants, combining the existing Learning Journey content with theories for social impact, so that students can pilot a social intervention during their AFS journey, equipping them to become Active Global Citizens. We are looking for AFS Volunteers who wish to facilitate live, online learning sessions for small groups of AFS students at a global level.
What is the time commitment?
- On-boarding & training: up to 10 hours of online learning and a 90-min online live training webinar.
