AFS Schweiz on Instagram

AFSers all over the globe are acting as changemakers and are making peace relevant again in today’s society. As volunteers, we want to make their voices heard and show that AFS is all about local and global engagement, diversity and social impact. We have created #VolunteerVoices to give any AFS volunteer a platform to make their stories heard. Because we strongly believe that at the start of every dream, change and impact, there is a good story.

What is AFS today?

AFS is an inclusive community of global citizens committed to building a more just and peaceful world. We believe appreciating, valuing and respecting different cultures and being globally competent are key ingredients to helping the world learn to live together.

AFS is an intercultural education organization that provides high school exchange programs and so much more!
  • AFS provides innovative study abroad and exchange programs for teens and adults.
  • Our programs include groundbreaking intercultural learning journeys for teen participants, host families, volunteers and staff.  Our adult programs include a global competency certification program. These structured and facilitated learning programs are customized for each group and supported by curricula developed by AFS experts and leading educators around the world. Learn in this Video what GCC is.
  • AFS shares ideas and expertise with local communities interested in building bridges across cultures by organizing social impact and changemaking projects.

AFSers knows how much we value volunteers and host families. Without their commitment and passion AFS would not be the organization we are today. But did you know that there are other ways you can stay involved, depending on your time, schedule, interests and professional expertise?  Even a small gesture can make a big difference.
