We asked some of our volunteers to share their story.
Why do they #volunteer with AFS?
Meet Shari, she says "I volunteer because I can keep learning about the world and connect with others".
Share your story with us, why do you volunteer? #NVW#AFSvolunteers#AFSeffect
#TBT to a #self-reflection activity we held during an AFS end of stay orientation camp. How has your AFS experience transformed you? What are the things that you learnt about yourself? Send us a dm and we will share your story! 😉 #afseffect#afsorientations#selfawarness
What does it mean to be an AFSer?
Being an AFSer for us means much more than just being able to travel, being an AFSer is a process of personal transformation that never ends!
Share here one skill you have gained while on your program. #afseffect#globalcitizen#selfawarness
In this challenging time we'd like to thank all the #AFSfamilies in Australia and abroad for their help, kindness and support. Global pandemics can separate us, but family ties will always pull us closer 😊 #afseffect#toghetherapart

Going on exchange not only broaden's your perspectives of the world, teaches you how to speak another language but it also introduces you #afs friendships (which last a life-time!)
