Mentor Program

The WI AFS Student Mentoring program began in 2020 and was designed to provide the opportunity for students to connect with professional mentors virtually and year-round. In addition to networking opportunities for students, the program offers services such as resume review and mock interviews. Mentorship duration and approach is up to the needs of the student. Please email Stephanie with your information, comments and questions. Stephanie.Shaw@wisconsin.gov

Fundraising Match Opportunity ($250)

The WIAFS chapter will match any WIAFS subunit fundraising up to $250, with documentation of fundraising.  Chapters shall contact the Secretary-Treasurer with the request and documentation of funds raised.  Subunits are eligible for a $250 match once per year (defined as the time period between WIAFS meetings).

 

Requirement of National AFS membership for SubUnit Officers

AFS rules require that officers of Student SubUnits be paid members of the National AFS.  To facilitate that, WIAFS will reimburse Subunit officers for the cost of up to 2 student memberships in AFS (total $XX dollars per subunit). If there are 3 officers, the Subunit can determine how to split the reimbursement.

 

Linking to the National AFS

Student Chapters: Make sure you have a link to your unit here, and that it goes somewhere that is updated (Facebook, website, etc).
