FSYF sponsors three youth development
programs: Around the World in a Lifetime (AWAL) for FS
Teen High Schoolers, Globe Trotters for Middle Schoolers and
Diplokids for elementary school age kids:
|
FS Teen:
|
Established
in 1983, assists young people re-entering American life from an
overseas tour and also helps prepare youth going overseas.
Includes training, social events and a community
service program for Foreign Service teenagers. |
|
Globe Trotters:
|
Established in
1998, provides support and friendship for
preteens. |
|
Diplokids:
|
Established in
2003, is a fun, family activity group to
support younger Foreign Service Kids. |
Through social and training activities, FSYF provides an
opportunity for Foreign Service teens and preteens to share
their experiences and concerns and, just as importantly,
simply to have fun with their peers without having to explain
their "foreign" background. FSYF also maintains
a commitment to assist parents in raising children in this
mobile lifestyle.
Are you the parent of a
U.S. Foreign Service kid, aged 5-18? The Foreign Service Youth
Foundation (FSYF) is the only nonprofit organization dedicated to
providing information, advocacy and outreach activities for the
internationally mobile youth of all United States' Foreign Affairs
agencies in the Washington, DC area as well as at Foreign Service posts
abroad.
