Looking for new ways to strengthen your host family recruitment efforts? A new resource from Dallas Area Team volunteer and National Council Vice Chair Jessica Robinson explores how artificial intelligence (AI) can support local outreach.

In the Help and Learning article Leveraging AI for Outreach and Recruitment, Jessica shares practical examples of how volunteers can use AI to brainstorm outreach ideas, draft communications, organize contact lists, and identify new community partners.

This resource is meant to inspire volunteers who are curious about how new tools can support their work while keeping the heart of AFS the same: personal connections in our communities.

Read the article and explore the resources to see how AI can complement your recruitment efforts!

Please note: An AFS-USA volunteer developed these materials to show how she uses AI to supplement her local efforts. While this isn’t an “official” AFS-USA training guide, it’s a great look at how modern tools can support our age-old mission. We’re sharing this for inspiration – no matter how you feel about AI, there’s no replacing the real-world passion you bring to your local community.
