Broadening Perspectives, Exploring Opportunities

Connecting Lives, Sharing Cultures

ANNUAL REPORT 2009 About AFS

AFS is a global community of more than 50 Partner organizations that support intercultural learning, principally through exchange programs. AFS has transformed the lives of millions of students, families and individuals through the participation of AFS Volunteers and AFS Host Families worldwide.

AFS began as the American Field Service during World Wars I and II, when nearly 5,000 young men volunteered as ambulance drivers. In 1947, under the leadership of Stephen Galatti, AFS organized its first secondary student exchanges. The aim was to build international understanding by helping ordinary people from different parts of the world get to know one another.

Nearly seven decades later, more than 12,000 students participate in AFS exchanges and more than 40,000 volunteers support AFS Programs each year. AFS continues to connect people and to support them in sharing their cultures.

AFS Statement of Purpose

AFS is an international, voluntary, non-governmental, non-profit organization that provides intercultural learning opportunities to help people develop the knowledge, skills and understanding needed to create a more just and peaceful world.

The Core Values of AFS

AFS enables people to act as responsible global citizens working for peace and understanding in a diverse world. It acknowledges that peace is a dynamic concept threatened by injustice, inequity and intolerance.

AFS seeks to affirm faith in the dignity and worth of every human being and of all nations and cultures. It encourages respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms without distinction as to race, gender, language, religion or social status.

AFS activities are based on its core values of dignity, respect for differences, harmony, sensitivity and tolerance.

2 Message from the Chair and the President

The past year was both a challenging and a rewarding year for AFS, which saw significant economic, social and political changes unfold around the world. As a global organization, AFS is managing these challenges, by relying on the core principles that have guided the organization over the last 63 years, and on the strength of the AFS Network of volunteers, hosts and participants. Christian A. Kurtén Chair, Board of Trustees AFS made significant strides in implementing Vision 2020, the long-term strategy for reaching more people with high-quality programs in more countries over the next 10 years. AFS took the opportunity to broaden its perspectives and to explore opportunities both within and outside the organization. More specifically, AFS strengthened two assets that continue to be at the heart of the organization: the volunteer network and a growing range of programs.

AFS Volunteers are the backbone of the organization, and AFS completed several initiatives to increase their long-term engagement. The leadership of the AFS Network gathered for the 2009 World Congress in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, which focused on innovation and embracing change while remaining committed to lifelong intercultural learning. AFS-USA held its first National Volunteer Assembly, beginning a new phase of engagement with their volunteers. AFS Thailand established hosting centers throughout the country to provide volunteer training and more consistent and localized follow-up with participants and host families. Francisco “Tachi” Cazal President and CEO In 2009, AFS achieved important results in its programs. Programs were reintroduced in Kenya through a partnership with the Youth Exchange and Study Program (YES) of the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs. AFS also restarted operations in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Serbia and Slovenia. AFS Colombia engaged young adults from Germany in community service projects that had direct positive impact in their communities through the Weltwärts Program. AFS Interculture South Africa launched bilateral exchanges with Mozambique and South Africa. Significantly, AFS, in partnership with the governments of Japan, Germany and the United States, sent 1,295 participants on exchange programs over the course of the year. As the donor list indicates, many Partners, led by Intercultura, the AFS Partner in Italy, have received generous scholarships from corporations.

Beyond the accomplishments of 2009, how AFS is perceived in the world is a revealing measure of our effectiveness, and there are two examples that recognize the leading role that AFS plays in providing quality lifelong intercultural learning. AFS International was invited to present a research paper on the state of secondary student exchange programs by the United Nations Alliance of Civilizations. Also, the Board of the Caravan Institute, a New York-based non-profit organization, announced that AFS International will receive a contribution of USD 1.5 million to support investment in new projects and to provide an endowed scholarship program.

The following pages provide more details on activities of the past year, and highlight some of the core principles of AFS that will be important in the year ahead. We look forward, with your support, to continuing to enrich our current programs, exploring opportunities to grow, and increasing the number of people who participate in AFS intercultural learning experiences.

• Working with AFS Germany, the German Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development granted USD 119,000 to support AFS South Africa’s Volunteer Development Plan.

• Together with AFS-USA, AFS Interculture South Africa obtained USD 45,000 from the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs to introduce the Youth Exchange and Study Program (YES) to South Africa in 2010. The YES Program is a public diplomacy initiative that builds bridges of international understanding, especially between Americans and people in countries with significant Muslim populations.

• The Southern Africa Trust granted USD 143,000 for the SayXChange program to launch AFS Community Service exchanges between Mozambique and South Africa in 2010.

5 AFS Is Experiential Learning with Quality

In 2009, AFS Thailand won designation by the AFS Network as a partner with High Growth Potential and continued to invest heavily in program growth and quality. An important aspect of their strategy is to increase their capacity to host AFS participants.

In 2008, AFS Thailand began Another key element of AFS to establish Hosting Centers Thailand’s strategy is the throughout the country in order comprehensive training offered to to provide high-quality support hosting volunteers, most of whom are services to volunteers, participants teachers. The training sessions are and host families. based on best practices and ongoing reflection on the AFS Volunteer “We have been implementing experience.

Praphasri Pumsiri AFS Thailand Volunteer, 2001 Galatti Award winner for outstanding volunteer service.

6 AFS intercultural learning experiences are enriched by the quality of the support participants receive from host families and AFS Volunteers during their exchanges.

A hallmark of the AFS experience is the time participants spend with a host family and the ability of AFS to place them in an environment that will enrich their intercultural learning. In Thailand, as in the rest of the AFS Network, sharing day-to-day life with host parents and siblings adds a very special dimension to AFS exchange programs.

7 AFS Is Working with Others AFS actively seeks to work with others to achieve its goals. This includes cooperating with affiliate organizations to expand AFS Programs, with national governments to fund programs and with local non-governmental organizations.

A strategic priority of the AFS Programs in the developing AFS Vision for the year 2020 world and to work in local is expanding the number of communities. countries in which AFS Programs are conducted and the number AFS Colombia hosted 24 of participants engaged in Weltwärts participants who were intercultural learning. placed in 11 different AFS chapters in the country. “The energy and The European Federation for dedication that the Weltwärts Intercultural Learning (EFIL) participants have brought to their and its Secretary General, Paul work in Colombia has had a strong Claes, local AFS Returnees in impact in the local communities south eastern Europe and AFS where they have been placed.

Through AFS Colombia, participants have been placed with organizations such as Fundación Vida Nueva, where they help the homeless integrate into society and Fundamor, where they help children with HIV.

In Paraguay, AFS participants have been placed in Tierra Viva, a non-profit that provides assistance to the indigenous people of Paraguay, assisting the organization to develop tools to deliver their services in the Paraguayan Chaco region.

9 AFS Is Committed to Volunteerism AFS is one of the largest volunteer-driven organizations in the world. With more than 40,000 volunteers, AFS is constantly assessing how to improve the volunteer experience. In 2009, AFS- USA launched a restructuring and development plan to empower its volunteers, especially in the areas of decision-making and governance.

“AFS is an organization that Ms. Mary Porterfield, an AFS has always drawn its vital Volunteer for 41 years, serves as energy from volunteers.

10 AFS, as a truly volunteer-based organization, has always had a strong commitment to its approximately 7,000 volunteers in the U.S. and more than 40,000 volunteers worldwide. AFS-USA is guided by four core principles in its work with volunteers:

• Commit to volunteer development, so that any individual who supports AFS-USA has an opportunity to maintain a strong relationship with the organization;

• Promote continuous learning, ensuring that all volunteers are provided with ongoing training and given the resources they need to support the AFS Mission of intercultural education and understanding;

• Remain a leading volunteer organization, committed to innovation and new strategies to strengthen and diversify the AFS Volunteer base;

• Effectively manage volunteers with clearly defined policies linked to a career ladder, to enable individuals to move to higher levels of responsibility, to develop their interests, and to build upon their experiences with the organization.

The AFS organizations in most countries are incorporated, not-for- profit entities with a volunteer board of directors with responsibility for the staff, office, budget and programs in its territory. AFS Intercultural Programs in New York provides overall leadership and coordination for the AFS Network and offers a number of core services to the AFS organizations. This system successfully balances the independent, yet interdependent nature of the AFS Network. This listing includes AFS organizations and representatives that belong to, or are affiliated with, the AFS Network.
