This free webinar, hosted by Mobility International, will provide basic tips and considerations for planning accessible virtual events or meetings.
I know that last week’s announcement indicating a significant change to our inbound FLEX and YES programs was not only disappointing, but also unsettling. Many of you have worked hard to place these students with host families while also looking for new host families to host the unplaced students. Your efforts have not gone unnoticed, regardless of this transition to a virtual-only program for the spring, and I am grateful for the work you’ve done on behalf of these participants.
The U.S. Department of State has informed AFS-USA that they have decided to cancel the in-person component of the YES and FLEX programs, scheduled to arrive to the U.S. in January for the spring semester, and instead, change the program to an all-virtual format.
The Sponsored Programs team is actively looking for host families, U.S. teenage peers, and experienced volunteers to participate in FLEX and YES Fall virtual programming.
On Wednesday evening, September 16, an AFS Hosting Volunteer Town Hall took place via Zoom. The recording is now available.
