In preparation for Teacher Appreciation Week 2023, which is in early May, we want to make sure educators are recognized for their role in the student exchange experience. Therefore, we are encouraging all AFS students to record a short video message for a teacher who has had a positive impact on their exchange experience.

This is a great opportunity for students to show their teachers gratitude and highlight the effect educators have on the exchange students in their lives. Please encourage students in your area to submit their videos by March 15, 2023 for a chance to be featured in the final compilation. The full video will be shared throughout our AFS-USA community, as well as with their schools!

For instructions on how students can submit their video messages, please see our Video Submission Form. Please reach out to educators@afsusa.org with any questions or concerns. Thank you for your support as we highlight wonderful educators during Teacher Appreciation Week 2023!
