The 2022-2023 academic year marks the official 75th Anniversary of student exchanges for AFS-USA. The high school exchanges started with students in 10 schools in the Midwest and East Coast areas of the United States and have grown to include thousands of students each year traveling into and out of the U.S. on AFS exchanges. Thank you to all schools supporting our mission of creating a more just and peaceful world by empowering people to become globally engaged citizens.
