A Message of Thanks from Tara Hofmann

This Thanksgiving, I’m looking forward to reflecting on the important things (and especially people) in my life. I’ll also be feeling a great sense of gratitude to all of the volunteers, staff, host families, donors, students, schools, and community members who’ve made it possible for AFS-USA to weather the storm of a global pandemic. Not only am I grateful for what you’ve helped us achieve but I am also very proud of how resilient we are as an organization. I hope you feel the same.

AFS-USA Summit: A Celebration of Leading Together with Resilience

From November 4-7, the AFS-USA Summit took place in Alexandria, VA. Approximately 90 volunteers and staff from all over the US (and 15 partner staff from all over the world!) were able to attend, plus another 130 volunteers and staff who registered to join parts of the Summit virtually. Read on for a recap, videos, photos, and other resources from the weekend. Thank you to all who made this year’s Summit a success!
