Welcome to our globally-aware, multi-generational extended community of program alumni! This includes students who studied abroad (and sometimes refer to themselves as AFS Returnees), former host family members and families who sent their teens abroad, people who once volunteered for AFS, and others whose lives have been touched by AFS. Whether you studied abroad or not — you are a member of our AFS alumni community, and this is YOUR international network!
Our alumni are champions of global competence and agents of change. Many have chosen careers in education, international affairs, science and technology, medicine, media, and business. They work to make the world more peaceful, sustainable, and interconnected. When our participants become alumni, they can continue to rely on AFS and fellow AFSers to further develop their global skills.
