As an AFS-USA volunteer you know that we have to secure families for all students in order to preserve the integrity of our program, our organization’s future, and our standing with the US government. Securing families for our students by the September 3rd deadline is of critical importance to our organization’s health and reputation. Now is the time for action – action that will help us to move the needle much closer to where it has to be.

If you’re wondering what you can do to help during this very challenging time, let me tell you in a very straightforward way – we need you to welcome a student into your home for a few weeks this fall to ensure they can participate on the program and start school.

Please take a few moments to watch this short video.

If you are able to welcome a student this fall or know of someone who would be open to this opportunity please reply to this email or contact us at hosting@afsusa.org. 

Thank you – we cannot do this without you,

Tara Hofmann
