Welcome to Eastern NY AFS

Things to Do With Your AFS Student

Give Us Your Input! This page contains links to places and events that we hope will be of special interest to AFS students and their families. If you have room in your car when you're doing one of these events, do consider taking along another AFS student! When you get back to a computer, please e-mail Robin with your comments and 1-5 stars and she'll post them!
If you are hosting a YES or CB student you should know that your student is required to attend 2 events that demonstrate multiculturalism in the United States, 2 events that demonstrate democracy, and 2 events that demonstrate volunteerism. If you do something that falls into one of those categories, and it's not listed here, e-mail Robin so she can put it here.
