The next generation of outstanding AFS programs.
Trusted organization. Proven track record. Lifelong connections.
Born from AFS values, AFSNext programs are organized by a network of well-respected AFS and other organizations. We help adults find the right international program to achieve your personal and professional goals. Benefit from an international community of friends, qualified staff and passionate volunteers ready to help you achieve your dreams.
A global perspective; a valued competitive edge
Stand out from your peers by adding “global” to your personal and professional identity. Stimulating AFSNext experiences provide young adults with a clear advantage in many ways and every profession—at home and around the world. That’s because living, studying, working and volunteering abroad helps you become more confident in unfamiliar settings, while sharpening practical cross-cultural skills valued in many universities, NGOs and workplaces.
Gain global competence
Build essential skills for an international workforce
Learn another language to communicate across cultures
Enhance any professional study with global experience
Experience another country without being a tourist
Volunteer on the other side of the world
The Global Competence Certificate
AN IMPORTANT CREDENTIAL FOR INTERNATIONAL PROFESSIONALS
This state-of-the-art Global Competence Certificate (GCC) program prepares you to successfully navigate new cultural environments—during your AFSNext experience and long after you finish the program. Online intercultural learning modules combined with in-person sessions help you develop practical and global skills, knowledge and attitudes that employers need and mission-driven organizations believe will help achieve their social impact goals.
