The AFS-USA Mission Award recognizes an individual who holds, or has previously held, a volunteer leadership role at the chapter, team, or national level. This award recognizes an outstanding volunteer who has made a significant impact in promoting the core values and mission of AFS through their leadership.
A nominee must be a currently registered AFS-USA volunteer and active for the past 5 years, in compliance with AFS-USA and Department of State guidelines, and not a past recipient of the Mission Award.
A complete nomination includes the nomination form and two reference forms. One reference is required to be written by an AFS-USA registered volunteer. The nominator should make sure that the references are submitted before the deadline.
To avoid duplicate nominations, please speak with other key volunteers and your TDS about your nomination.
The nomination period for the Mission Award is February 1st - March 17th, 2019. Questions and/or completed nomination and reference forms can be sent to volrecognition@afsusa.org.
