We’ve made some changes to the Host Family Interview Form, as well as the Contacts & Visits, Placements, and Sending widgets!

Select Multiple Family Members on Contacts & Visits Widget

You can now select multiple family members when entering a visit! Just use the checkbox to indicate who was present during the visit.

Time Limit Indicated on Contacts & Visits Widget

We have added a note reminding volunteers that there is a 2-hour limit when filling out a contact or visit. If you know that you will need to take a break while filling out your report, we recommend keeping an eye on the time so you don’t lose everything you have already written up!

Submit Mandatory Photos from the Host Family Interview Form

There is now a link to the Hosting Operations Paperwork inbox right on the Host Family Interview form. If you are interviewing a prospective host family and they have not yet uploaded their photos to their application, you can send them right from MyAFS.

Hosted students arriving in January are now indicated as such right in the Placements widget.

Priority Students Highlighted in Sending Widget

The newest Sending applicants in your area are now listed as Priority Students in the Sending Widget. Go ahead and say hello!
