We are pleased to invite you to a special Zoom webinar on Tuesday, December 3rd at 8:00 PM EST to learn about AFS-USA’s Re-envisioning the Future initiative—a bold effort to honor our past, reflect on the present, and chart an inspiring path for our future.
This initiative brings together AFS-USA staff, board members, volunteers, and others in a collaborative exploration of how we can continue transforming lives and communities in a rapidly changing world. Here’s a glimpse into the work done so far:
Honoring the Past
We began by reconnecting with our origins and reviewing AFS’s founding and early history. This set the stage for numerous inspiring discussions about the legacy we carry and how it informs our future.
Understanding the Present
Through a collection of trends and data, we reflected on AFS-USA’s journey before, during, and after the pandemic. These insights clarified why this re-envisioning process is critical and, in turn, presented some of the opportunities that lie ahead.
Looking Toward the Future
Finally, we envisioned the AFS-USA of 2050. Guided by global context—including the UN’s Pact for the Future—we compared our aspirations and began to create a collective vision of our preferred future.
At the AFS-USA Volunteer Summit in Dallas, TX, this initiative took center stage with a panel of project team members. The enthusiastic response from attendees affirmed the importance of sharing this work broadly.
Now, we’re bringing this panel conversation to all volunteers. Join us to:
- Hear more about this inspiring journey and the emerging vision for AFS-USA.
- Learn how you can contribute to shaping the organization’s future.
- Connect with fellow volunteers and leaders in meaningful discussion.
