Team Overview

“For over 60 years, AFS has been bringing intercultural awareness into our communities through thousands of high school students who participate in our sending and hosting programs. This is a life-changing experience for the students, our families and communities that last well beyond the students’ stay.

At AFS Southern New England Team, our mission is to contribute to a more just and peaceful world through intercultural learning. Our objective is to provide the prospective students, families, and schools in our area all the information they need regarding AFS Intercultural Programs. We hope that you will join us!”
