The AFS Intercultural Programs Northwest Area Team recently announced that three local students have been selected to receive scholarships for their international exchange programs.
The students selected are Kira Tangney of Arcata who will go to the Dominican Republic for one year, Pavlina Crawley of Kneeland who will go to Ecuador for one year and Rose Southard of McKinleyville who will spend one year in Egypt.
The scholarship money was raised locally and the selected students are expected to return to their community following their exchange to share their experiences and support other exchange students.
AFS-USA has been working toward a more just and peaceful world for over 60 years by providing international and intercultural learning experiences to individuals, families, schools, and communities through a global partnership that includes thousands of volunteers.
AFS also needs people who are interested in becoming volunteer liaisons to work locally with families and their hosted students. Those interested in learning more about hosting or volunteering with AFS can find out more by visiting www.afs.org/usa/hostfamily.
