NEW 2006 REGULATIONS ON CRIMINAL BACKGROUND CHECKS
For Volunteers and Host Families
"In April of this year (2006), the U.S. Department of State released new regulations for inbound high school exchange programs which include the requirement of national criminal background checks for all volunteers, staff, and host families [this includes anyone over the age of 13 residing in the home]. In order to comply with these new standards, AFS-USA now requires criminal background checks for all volunteers, host families, and staff."
"We appreciate your patience and understanding as we add this mandated step to our host family application process (and/or volunteer registration process). AFS-USA has been working hard to make this new requirement as convenient for you as possible and we appreciate your patience as we carry out this new challenge together. If you have questions regarding the criminal background checks process, please contact the Registration Staff at 1-800-237-4636 extension 3, or write to vol.reg@afs.org." Volunteers can visit AFS Online http://www.afsonline.org/ for updates.

News about AFSwiki
Link to AFSwiki home page.
The following was taken from AFSonline in May 2008 (much more at the links below):
AFS-USA is working towards replacing current functions on AFSonline with two improved systems that will be available to both volunteers and staff:
- GlobalLink – the computer system used by many of our international partners that enables much more efficient transfer of the confidential information about participants, applications, leads, program openings, travel, orientation attendance, liaison contact & support cases.
- AFSwiki – an ever-growing public library of information, knowledge, and documents available to and editable by all volunteer and staff users.
The volunteers who started AFSwiki envisioned it as the primary repository of information from and for volunteers and staff about the organization. It is designed to be a forum where users can share the following:
- Accurate information about all functions and roles within AFS
- Collected knowledge and insights from years of experience
- Current versions of forms and documents
- Up-to-date news about the organization
It is intended to be an ongoing project that is continually edited and expanded by AFS users.
