International Education Week (IEW) has officially arrived! We hope you’re just as excited as we are, because there is no better time to share your experience with AFS and educate those around you about the importance of global education. Our 75th anniversary provides an even more important platform to participate in IEW, as we are celebrating 75 years of promoting peace and creating global citizens through the AFS mission.
This year, through the Peter J. Westort Volunteer Leadership Award, AFS-USA chaperones will be welcome to apply for one of four $500 stipends to be awarded to four volunteer chaperones in the coming year.
The 75th anniversary of AFS-USA was celebrated by AFS staff and volunteers from around the country – and around the world – in St. Louis this past weekend. Volunteer Recognition Awards shined a spotlight on those who went above and beyond this past year.
We are gearing up for the NSLI-Y and YES Abroad NH23 candidate interview season, which will take place this December through February!
Who are the Top 75 Schools for hosting and study abroad across the U.S.?
The AFS-USA 75th Anniversary celebration will run throughout the 2022-2023 academic year, ending in June 2023. That means there is plenty of time to celebrate!
We sadly lost a very dear member of the AFS-USA family this past month with the passing of Gus E. Leimkuhler, Jr., a lifelong friend, advocate, and volunteer.

IEW is an important time for the AFS community. We utilize this event to promote intercultural education and build understanding across the globe. This year is especially significant because it’s the 75th anniversary of AFS!
