Share the #AFSeffect
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.
