Summer and Global Prep Recruitment is in Full Swing!

Summer and Global Prep Recruitment is in Full Swing!

Encourage U.S. teens to incorporate an AFS study abroad experience into their summer plans!

AFS offers many summer abroad opportunities that vary by destination and length. Summer programs ranging from 4 to 8 weeks usually include a homestay, a local high school experience, or a language immersion course. For busy students who lack the time commitment for a month-long program over the summer, AFS recommends a shorter Global Prep program! Global Prep programs are group-oriented experiences that generally range from 1 to 3 weeks instead. They focus on different cultural themes and include group activities, workshops, and excursions within the country. Global Prep Programs are ideal options for students looking for an AFS immersion experience that is both less expensive and shorter in length!

As you help students choose the best program for them, be sure to remind them of approaching deadlines. For quick reference, keep this Summer Program Deadline Cheat Sheet handy. We have about one month left to recruit new students for Global Prep programs so encourage them to apply before time runs out! Thank you for all your help in sending U.S. students on an AFS journey this summer!
