AFS Intercultural Programs held a celebration of our 60th Anniversary in New York City on October 26-28, 2007. Since 1947, over 350,000 individuals and an equal number of host families have had the AFS experience. This is all made possible by the incredible work of AFS volunteers around the world – today AFS has over 30,000 active volunteers and hundreds of thousands of supporters. We had a lot to celebrate! The weekend was an opportunity for people to re-connect with old friends; meet and network with new friends; and to learn more about the AFS of today.

Thank You everyone that attended and contributed to the World Peace Forum.
