Many of you experienced our issues with Global Link and MyAFS during the weekend of August 9-11. Although we have temporarily resolved the issues, our IT staff will need additional time this weekend to permanently fix them.

In order to complete the needed work, Global Link & MyAFS (including the host family and volunteer applications) will be down starting at 9pm Eastern time (6pm PDT) this coming Friday, August 16, with plans for everything to be back up by mid to late morning on Saturday.

We are aware that the timing is not ideal, but the repairs need to be completed now in order to lessen the likelihood of a worse problem later. Thank you for your patience and understanding and for all you do for AFS!
