As we forge ahead into the Hosting season, we would like to remind and encourage Teams to get a jump start on identifying Support volunteers for the coming cycle. The sooner Support volunteers are identified, the sooner we can get them registered, trained and ready to be linked to a Student and Host Family when the time comes.
The Liaison Assignment Widget has already been made available for 2021-2022 placements. This widget allows Liaison Assignment Coordinators to identify Support volunteers for the coming cycle and assign Liaisons and other Support volunteer roles to Students and Host Families.
Liaison Assignment Coordinators as well as any volunteer interested in learning more about the Liaison Assignment Widget in MyAFS are welcome to join either upcoming webinar on:
Wednesday April 14th at 3pm EST, 2pm CST, 1pm MST, 12pm PST, 11am AK
Thursday April 15th at 8pm EST, 7pm CST, 6pm MST, 5pm PST, 4pm AK
You will be sent log-in information after you register. If you are unable to attend, the session will be recorded and posted on MyAFS Help and Learning.
If you are not actively assigned as your Team’s Liaison Assignment Coordinator and are interested in this role, please reach out to your Area Team Chair or other volunteer leadership. If you don’t know who comprises your volunteer leadership, you can contact AskAFS@afsusa.org for assistance.
Thank you so much to everyone involved for helping prepare our Students, Host Families, and Liaisons for a successful exchange year ahead!
