Youth Awards Ceremony

2017 Youth Award Winners, FSYF President John Naland, AAFSW President Dr. Joanna Athanasopoulos, Deputy Assistant Secretary Constance Dierman, AFSA President Barbara Stephenson.

Every summer FSYF honors the winners of the FSYF contests and awards at the Youth Awards Ceremony. This event, traditionally held at the U.S. Department of State, takes place in the summer months, and provides the entire Foreign Service community an opportunity to celebrate the achievements of the children of the employees of the U.S. Foreign Affairs Agencies.

Along with officials from the State Department, FSYF is delighted to be able to honor our FS youth who have seized opportunities, made the world around them a better place and shared their talents with the worldwide FS community.
