| Abstract | The American Field Service (AFS) has 3,500 volunteers throughout Australia. Local chapters recruit potential host families and participants. Host families are recruited actively and selectively while volunteers are recruited largely through AFS presentations at schools, through friends, and by returning volunteers. Due to a high level of demand for fundraising, difficulty in finding host families, and the current political debate in Australia concerning issues of multiculturalism and Asian immigration, tensions have risen within the organization, often as a result of geographic distances, regional rivalries, and the central management structure. Ten recommendations are made for the future of AFS in Australia, addressing specific needs, problems, and current concerns within the organization. Among the recommendations are: AFS should clarify the policies and goals, AFS should develop a corporate identity, and AFS should make volunteer training a priority. (NL) |
