AFS IEP Ghana

AFS IEP Ghana http://www.afs.org.gh The American Field Service (AFS) started in 1914 as a volunteer ambulance corps. The name “AFS Ghana” remains an acronym.

AFS is an international exchange organisation for students and adults that operates in more than 50 countries, and organizes intercultural learning experiences. The ambulance drivers of the American field service assisted wounded soldiers and civilians during World War I and II. Their mission was one of compassion and service to mankind
During World War II, the American field service, an all civil

ian volunteer force, was stationed in Europe, Syria, North Africa, India and Burma. When the war ended in 1945, AFS volunteers pledged not to abandon their tradition of international service. Compelled to hasten the post-war healing process, they vowed to work towards changing the world's forces from hostility to friendship. The ambulance drivers therefore instituted student exchange programs as a means of realizing their vision of a world where there would be mutual under-standing among people of diverse Culture. AFS started operation of student exchange programs in Ghana from 1967 under the name AFS Ghana. Over the years, hundreds of students have had the opportunity to embark on the intercultural exchange programs in Ghana. AFS worldwide has included other programs which involve people who fall outside the secondary school age. In 1989, AFS Ghana registered as an independent partner in a network of over 50 countries under the name Intercultural Exchange Programs, Ghana. From a humble idea born from the ashes of war, AFS worldwide today has offices in 55 countries. It is a prominent leader in the field of international cultural exchange. Its network International office is in New York.

🌍✨ Spotlight on AFS Alum Joshua Opoku Agyemang!

We are proud to celebrate Joshua Opoku Agyemang, AFS alum and member of the first cohort of the Sir Cyril Taylor Young African Leaders Program, for playing a pivotal role in Ghana’s landmark National AI Strategy. 🇬🇭🤖

Joshua contributed to stakeholder engagements during the strategy development process and supported planning and ex*****on of the strategy’s official launch — helping shape an important milestone for Ghana’s digital future.

A defining highlight? Joshua led the robotics team behind the AI-powered Bot, built by young Ghanaian engineers, which delivered the very first printed copy of the National AI Strategy to the President — a powerful symbol of innovation placing Ghana’s future directly into the hands of its leadership. 🚀

His journey is a reminder of what young leaders can achieve when vision, innovation, and purpose come together. We are inspired to see AFS alumni contributing to solutions that shape national and global futures.

👏 Congratulations, Joshua — we celebrate your leadership and impact!

Many imagine the adventure, the photos, and the excitement of living in a new country. But the experience goes much deeper — it’s about stepping into unfamiliar spaces, navigating new classrooms, building connections across cultures, and embracing emotions words sometimes cannot explain.

For Asia Vaccher, who was hosted in Ghana, her exchange became more than a journey abroad. It was a season of learning, adapting, and discovering new perspectives.
Her experience reshaped how she sees the world, how she connects with people, and how she understands herself.

🎥 Hear Asia share her story and reflect on how exchange changes lives — often in ways you never expect.
