Promote Volunteering – Help & Learning

Wondering how to promote volunteering with AFS-USA in your community? The 2022 Volunteer Recruitment Campaign is currently under way! We are working toward 75 new volunteers in each region over the course of the summer. That breaks down to just 15 new volunteers per region per month, but it'll result in a whopping 450 new, wonderful volunteers nationwide to help lead AFS into the next 75 years of exchange experiences.

With a different theme each month, the Volunteer Recruitment Campaign has been providing different ways to connect with prospective volunteers. People choose to volunteer because they like helping people (May), because they know that volunteering is good for you (June), and because they know that volunteering with AFS makes a real difference in the world (coming soon: July).

You can see your region's progress in the Volunteer Recruitment Campaign when you log into your MyAFS Volunteer Portal.
