We’re happy to announce that the 10 for 10 Challenge will take place this year from February 27th to March 8th. As student applications come in from partner countries around the world, we have an amazing opportunity to welcome new families into our global community!
Starting Tuesday, February 27th, our goal is to find host families for 10 international students per day for 10 days straight. (That’s 100 life-changing experiences!) We know the dedicated AFS Family can do that and more.
For each day of the 10 for 10 Challenge, we’ll be reaching out with fun and easy ways to connect with potential host families. We’ll provide new tools and resources to help you complete each daily challenge below.
Daily Volunteer Challenges:
- 2/27 – Add an AFS frame to your Facebook profile picture
2/28 – Send a hosting press release to a local outlet
3/1 – Ask your friends to “meet the students”
3/2 – Hang a hosting flyer
- Quickly create a custom flyer in our DesignShop and go put up some paper
- You can also download this Sample Hosting Flyer
3/3 – Share your favorite hosting photo
- Spread the love on your social media accounts
3/4 – Reach out to a school about an AFS event
3/5 – Share an AFS video
3/6 – Send a letter to a school admin
