“Five Ways to Share #WhyHostingMatters” is a new campaign, running March 9th – 13th, with the goal of finding host families across the US for the students arriving this fall. Each day of the campaign, every AFS-USA volunteer will receive an email with a simple challenge. By completing each challenge, you’ll be helping to secure host families and promoting AFS!
Join us in celebrating IEW! Volunteers can find resources and information in the Promote AFS section of Help & Learning.
Many of us are getting back out into our communities, hosting get-togethers, attending events, and enjoying fall festivities! While doing so, we encourage you to promote AFS study abroad, hosting, and volunteering opportunities! Here are some resources to help you do so.

It’s Day 3 of the Five for the Finish Campaign! Let’s keep the ball rolling and find placements for the 275 students who still need host families!
AFS-USA is kicking off the Five for the Finish Campaign this week! Our goal? Find host families for the approximately 300 students who still need a placement, which is the smallest number of students we have ever had left to place in mid-July!
There are approximately 300 students who still need a host family for this fall, which is the smallest number of students we have ever had left to place in mid-July. If, together, we can find families for these students by the 1st Arrivals Placement deadline on July 27th, they will all be able to arrive in time for the start of school and we will have achieved our goal!
