AFS is one of the oldest youth exchange organizations world-wide, founded as a volunteer ambulance service in 1914. The ambulance drivers initiated youth exchange activities after the First World War to help to develop the knowledge, skills and intercultural understanding needed to create a more peaceful world, starting with scholarships for university students. After the Second World War AFS decided to arrange the exchange of younger participants, and started High School based exchange programs. Today AFS consists of a word wide network of independent AFS organizations in over 60 countries. Their main activities include High School based exchanges and international voluntary service, internships and other intercultural activities. AFS is a non-profit organization, registered at the national register of associations. All our programs are partly organized by staff members from the national office in Hamburg and three regional offices in Stuttgart, Wiesbaden and Berlin (in total 90 staff members), together with our national volunteers (in total 3.400 national volunteers), which are organized within national, regional and local working groups (around 100 local chapters all over Germany).

Nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg beschloss AFS, den Austausch jüngerer Teilnehmer zu organisieren, und startete High-School-basierte Austauschprogramme. Heute besteht AFS aus einem weltweiten Netz unabhängiger AFS-Organisationen in über 60 Ländern.
