A message from AFS-USA President and CEO Tara Boyce-Hofmann to all volunteers.
As you may already be aware, AFS-USA sending participants (“outbound”) are being returned home. For the American YES Abroad and NSLI-Y students, as well as the American and German CBYX students, this direction came from the U.S. Department of State. Staff at AFS-USA worked closely with AFS partners to arrange for student return travel, where possible and safe, and where participants were fit to travel.
