About AFS
2
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.
AFS Vision 2020
We pursue our mission by providing quality
intercultural learning opportunities for a growing
number of young people, families, other stakeholders
and wider audiences, thus developing an inclusive
community of global citizens determined to build
bridges between cultures.
Real-life experiential learning, supported by structured
reflection, is the core of our programs. We endeavor
to link our intercultural learning opportunities to the
defining global issues facing humanity. We reach out to
past, current and future participants, volunteers and other
stakeholders using the media and technology they use.
Volunteers and volunteerism are who we are. Our
organization brings about changes in lives through and for
our global community of volunteers.
We are recognized as an educational organization by
schools and the appropriate authorities. We work to create a
regulatory environment that supports our programs.
As a learning organization, we welcome change and
critical thinking. We are innovative and entrepreneurial
in advancing the strategic directions, working together
with others whenever appropriate.
Message from the Chair and the President

AFS Vision 2020 guides our efforts, reminding us at every
step that AFS “as a learning organization, welcomes change
and critical thinking. We are innovative and entrepreneurial in
advancing the strategic directions, working together with others
whenever appropriate.”
The AFS International Board of Trustees is committed to the
strategic goals for the year 2013: working with AFS Partners
such as India and China, among others, to realize their potential
to substantially grow both their hosting and sending programs;
helping all AFS Partner organizations worldwide become stronger;
creating programs for post-secondary school audiences; and
developing AFS operations where we are not currently present,
with a particular focus on Africa.
To be able to benefit more from its 65-year-old brand, AFS has
activated its newly articulated global brand platform to better
project itself as the connecting, trustworthy, inspiring and
supportive organization it is. This includes a new approach to
communications—both visuals and messages—and a training
program for staff and volunteers. These tools will help AFS stay
consistent internationally, and differentiate itself by delivering on
the AFS Brand Positioning: “Intercultural learning experiences
supported by local volunteers that change people’s lives and connect
them to a worldwide community.” The introduction of Brand-based
Marketing is helping AFS Partners build customer-responsive,
data-based campaigns that reflect the AFS Brand as they focus
strategically on growing with quality in their local markets.
In October 2010, at the AFS World Congress in Buenos
Aires, Argentina, AFS was energized by its recommitment to
deliver more comprehensive intercultural learning experiences
(ICL). ICL involves the development of knowledge, skills, and
attitudes of how our cultures shape our worldviews. This helps
us to appropriately and effectively adapt our behavior when
interacting with members of other cultures. The AFS Network
will incorporate even more structured and meaningful ICL
opportunities into every aspect of the AFS experience, because
ICL is the essence of AFS experiences.
AFS faced serious challenges in early 2011: political crises in
Tunisia and Egypt and natural disasters in New Zealand and
Japan, all countries where AFS is present. The Risk Management
Unit at AFS International and AFS Partners in the affected
countries did an outstanding job of upholding AFS’s highest
priority—ensuring the safety and well-being of our participants.
In February 2011, the Supreme Court of New York approved the
gift of USD 1.5 million to AFS from the Caravan Institute, a New
York-based non-profit organization. This generous gift will allow
us to move more quickly to implement the activities planned to
support the achievement of our strategic goals.
We look forward to an exciting and inspiring year for the AFS
Network. Thank you for your interest in AFS and for your support
of our work of connecting lives and sharing cultures.

AFS Intercultural Programs, Inc. (“AFS International”) is a not-for-profit organization
incorporated under the laws of New York State, USA, and is a tax-exempt organization under the
Internal Revenue Code 501(c)(3) of the United States of America. AFS Partner organizations
(“Partners”) are incorporated under the laws of the country in which they are located and likewise
prepare financial statements and tax reports as required by the jurisdictions in their respective
countries.
Each Partner undergoes an annual fiscal audit and presents to AFS International a copy of the
independent auditor’s opinion along with its financial statements. While rules and regulations
vary among Partner nations, audits generally follow standards consistent with GAAP (Generally
Accepted Accounting Principles). The tables presented are not the result of an audit performed by
one firm but represent combined information from audits performed by a number of independent
auditors around the world. The information for the three years shown has been gathered from
the audited financial statements of all the Partners and AFS International for these years. The
resulting tables reflect the combined financial activity in the AFS worldwide network of Partners
and include a regional summary for the fiscal year 2009. The compilation of the 2010 financial
statements will be available once the annual audits around the world are completed.
