Throughout June, our Passport to Hosting: Global Spotlight series featured exchange students from around the world, showcasing the unique perspectives, cultures, and experiences they bring to their host communities. Through these stories, we’ve helped raise awareness about hosting and given prospective host families a glimpse into the meaningful connections, personal growth, and lifelong memories that come from welcoming an international student into their home. 

Thank you for all of your efforts during this series and throughout the year. Whether you’re reaching people online, connecting with your community in person, or sharing your own hosting story, every conversation and every outreach effort helps bring new host families into the AFS community. 

While Passport to Hosting has come to a close, there are still plenty of ways to stay involved. Visit the Help & Learning Marketing Resources section to explore the many tools and resources available to support your host family recruitment efforts. 

If you have any questions or need additional support, please reach out to the AFS-USA Marketing Team at marketing@afsusa.org. Thank you for everything you do to help find welcoming homes for our exchange students. Your dedication makes these life-changing experiences possible.
