AFS-USA Competition to Study Abroad

AFS-USA, a global leader in intercultural student exchange programming, is asking eighth through 12th graders: What is one problem in the world that you would like to solve, and what type of volunteer project would you design to help solve it?

Students are asked to submit a short essay or video outlining their idea for a volunteer project that could have a meaningful impact abroad. Projects should focus on one of five key issue areas: arts & technology, education, health & nutrition, sustainability, and human rights & cultural understanding.



The winning student will get to put their vision into action on a free, two-week program abroad that is designed by AFS around their project idea. Four additional winners will receive full scholarships to participate in the winning project. The deadline for submissions is Dec. 10. Winners will be announced in Jan. 2015.
