Bringing AFS Students Together and Raising Scholarship Funds in the United States

Nearly 200 students, volunteers, and community members gathered at the Levine Museum of the New South in Charlotte, North Carolina (USA), for a reception on March 31, 2017, coordinated by the AFS Greater Charlotte chapter of AFS-USA. The event, which raised scholarship funds for AFS, included speeches by Mayor Jennifer Roberts, Ambassador Thomas Robertson, and exchange student T. J. Turner. It was coordinated in conjunction with the AFS exhibition The Volunteers: Americans Join World War I, 1914–1919, which is on display at the museum through July 9.
