Changemaking is in the DNA of AFSers.
Our volunteers facilitate intercultural experiences that are as life-changing
to themselves as they are to AFS program participants. AFS volunteers dare to
create change, and that can be translated into innovations in our internal
processes and operations, as well as into positive impact on local communities
addressing the pressing challenges of our times. #AFSChangeMaker Award intends
