Volunteers should consult the COVID-19 FAQ and Resources section for the most up-to-date information regarding changes in Hosting for 2020.
Currently AFS-USA is planning to host 150-175 core year program participants in the fall of 2020. For comparison, we hosted over 1900 Core and ECA Program students in the fall of 2019.
Due to visa restrictions regarding the required length of a semester program, all students arriving in the fall of 2020 will be on an AFS Year Program. No Semester program participants will be arriving this fall.
