AFS Maine Area Team
The Way Life Should Be
Volunteer
You can help bring the people of the world together and be part of an
international family right here in Maine by volunteering in your local
community for the Downeast Area Team.  Your involvement helps to further
the AFS mission of creating a more just and peaceful world.

For former AFS participants, keeping in touch and involved with AFS is a
great way for you to make new friends and continue the intercultural
learning that began with your AFS exchange abroad or your hosting
experience.  You've experienced how one person can make a difference!

Get Involved locally with AFS
More than 30,000 active volunteers supported by a small staff make AFS
happen in communities around the world. In Maine there are many
opportunities both big and small to work with students and other
volunteers to help support AFS. We would like your help. Some possible
options are:
•        Be a liaison for both student and family
•        Volunteer at one of our orientation camps both fall and spring
•        Help with a local fund raiser whether it is an auction or car wash
•        Help the exchange students produce their own yearbook
•        Interview prospective students or families
•        Help to organize pot luck dinners, picnics, or a trip to a sports game
•        Organize an information night at a high school

These are just a few ideas. We welcome your suggestions. Please click
here if you would like to volunteer and someone will contact you. Thank
you for your interest.

We have a wonderful group of people to work with and hope you will join
us.  We welcome your interest and participation.
