DONATE TODAYCelebrating 75 Years of AFS Exchange Programs
AFS-USA is celebrating 75 years of empowering people to become globally engaged citizens by delivering meaningful intercultural experiences. Bolstered by these experiences, AFSers help create a more just and peaceful world. There is no doubt that these are turbulent times, but the world our founders envisioned is not only possible…it’s made a reality by people like you. Your gift will make a tremendous difference in transforming families, communities, institutions, and especially the lives of young people in the U.S. and abroad.
The World Needs More Global Citizens
Through supporting AFS programs, you foster transformative experiences that last a lifetime. Today’s exchange students are tomorrow’s changemakers: diplomats; thought leaders; influencers in the international business and nonprofit communities. Every new AFS Student is another global citizen in progress—an individual primed to help build a more just and peaceful world.
And the impact doesn’t stop with the students. Host families’ lives are transformed by students from across the globe and host communities gain greater cultural diversity. That’s The AFS Effect.
