AFS-USA has thousands of high school foreign students in communities throughout the USA. Why not have them read to your classes for Read Across America on March 2? They can read a book from their country and also inform your students about going and hosting an AFSer in the future. To find those AFSers near you call 1-800-876-2377. Former AFSers tell us that it was because of hearing a speaker in elementary or middle school that they were inspired to go as a foreign exchange student.

I serve as a volunteer for the Miss Tennky Area AFS Volunteer Leadership Team and am a retired professional counselor, plus our family has hosted 10 AFSers in the past.
Help your students to think globally by acting locally.
