Teens of Color Abroad, Official Delegation Group in 2023

“Bringing our students to the AFS Youth Assembly meant that we could include them in a community of other brilliant young changemakers from across the globe. Our students left the AFS Youth Assembly buzzing with ideas and inspiration, determined to make the path ahead brighter for themselves and their communities. I’d recommend this experience to anyone invested in doing the same—our future world leaders are already here, and it’s time we joined their sides!”
