As Global Learning Week comes to a close, we’re reflecting on all the wonderful ways AFSers have spread the power of intercultural exchange. From sharing cherished traditions with your community to demonstrating the joys of the volunteer experience, we hope you were able to embrace the #AFSEffect this week and use your story to make an impact. 

We’d love to see photos and videos from your #GLW2025 moments, so make sure you upload them here. We’ll be announcing the winners of our various contests in the coming weeks, so keep an eye on our social media platforms for announcements! 

If you didn’t have time this week, don’t worry – every day is an opportunity to show somebody new why being a part of the AFS-USA community means something to you.  

Thank you for being a part of our global family!
