Support our mission
AFSers know how much we value volunteers and host families. Without their commitment and passion AFS would not be the organisation we are today. But did you know that there are other ways you can stay involved, depending on your time, schedule, interests and professional expertise? Even a small gesture can make a big difference.
Calling all AFS alumni: AFS needs you!
Former participants (returnees), volunteers, host families and staff are all part of the AFS alumni community. To achieve our mission and remain a recognised top-tiered international organisation working to make the world a better place, we invite all AFSers to stay connected with us.
Find out what’s new with AFS and how you can help make AFS relevant for more people. Say “Yes to AFS”, and have a great time connecting with an exciting global community.
