As a means to celebrate schools who have chosen to accept an AFS student for the first time, we are recognizing each of them with a certificate and a reminder of the tremendous variety of intercultural resources and opportunities that AFS-USA can offer to them at no cost as an AFS partner school.

Additionally, schools that have had a 10+ year hiatus from hosting an AFS student have likely had a transition of school leadership, so we are celebrating them as well. If you are a local volunteer and know of a school who should be receiving one of these certificates, please reach out to your School Partnerships Coordinator (found in the MyAFS Team Directory) or email educators@afusa.org and let us know so we can ensure those schools are celebrated! Please remember if that if the local volunteers are seeking the Placement Acceptance Forms, AFS-USA staff may not know that there’s a new school out there to celebrate!
