It’s the final week of Champions Month! We hope you’ve enjoyed celebrating students from around the world who are excited to connect with their future host families in the U.S.
Let’s finish strong by shining a spotlight on YES students—especially those from Türkiye, Indonesia, and Pakistan. Here are some ways you can champion YES program exchange students using AFS-USA resources:
- Share this social media graphic or a photo like this on your personal accounts and encourage others to do the same. Use a caption like “U.S. Department of State Kennedy-Lugar Youth Exchange and Study (YES) program students are highly motivated young people from across the globe ready to make a difference in your community. Welcome a student from Pakistan, Türkiye, or Indonesia into your home and experience a meaningful cultural exchange. #AFSUSA #AFSEffect”
- Utilize these YES-specific talking points to promote hosting a YES student.
- Refer to this Help & Learning article for additional YES-specific resources such as email templates, graphics, and flyers.
Please reach out to the AFS-USA Marketing Team at marketing@afsusa.org if you have any questions. We appreciate your efforts to champion YES students this week!
