Volunteering with AFS provides a unique opportunity to utilize your talents and help others realize the benefits of intercultural exchange. Volunteering can take the form of a few hours a week, a few hours per month or sporadically as your schedule allows. Some of the most engaged AFS Volunteers are Returnees, so AFS strongly encourages your participation.
