2011 Returnee Welcome Home Event
From AFSWiki
This summer, more than 800 Returnees return from their AFS programs abroad. This includes students who departed on year programs last summer, semester programs this Spring and summer programs this year. Let’s give them a warm AFS welcome!
AFS encourages teams and chapters to hold a Returnee Welcome Home Event to provide Returnees with an inviting homecoming and encourage Returnees to continue their engagement with AFS, while offering support to their families.
