The AFS Youth Assembly is a global platform that cultivates an international network of young leaders and changemakers through exchange, education, action and impact.
As we plan the 30th session of the AFS Youth Assembly, scheduled to take place in August of 2025 in New York City, we want to know – what issues are most important to you? What do you think the world needs to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals by 2030?
