I've learnt so much about my own culture!

“I have been involved with AFS for many years now and I have learnt so much about Australia and about what Aussie culture means to me. I love sharing my Australia with the participants as well as learning more about their culture. I have made friends around the world, as well as getting to know lots of other like-minded Australians!”

I want to give something back...

“I went on an AFS exchange and I honestly don’t think I would have had the courage to do the things that I have done if it wasn’t for my year away. I volunteer for AFS because I want to make other Australians aware of this life-changing experience!”

I know what it's like to be in a new country!

“When I moved to Australia I remember that scary, daunting feeling where everything was different, I had no friends and I didn’t understand the way things worked. I want to help these brave young adults adjust to life in Australia to make life a bit easier!”
