Indore, AFS India: 2023 Community Impact Award Winners

The Indore Chapter has embarked on an eventful journey with AFS since 2010, experiencing a series of key milestones, challenges, and transformative moments. Over the years, the chapter has evolved significantly from a small group of dedicated volunteers to a thriving community of educators, families, and students committed to intercultural understanding and to better serve the mission of AFS.

One of the earliest milestones was the establishment of the local chapter itself starting with three prominent schools of Indore. Initially, the chapter faced the challenge of building awareness and recruiting host families and exchange students. However, with perseverance, the chapter expanded its network, and now they have 22 member schools, volunteers, and alumni actively participating in online and offline activities. The Chapter has successfully sent and hosted students and programs extensively.

Despite challenges like the global pandemic, the chapter navigated through by organizing virtual activities, exchange programs, and impactful community service projects. Notable milestones include community service initiatives, fundraising events for scholarships, and a commitment to environmental causes.
