WATER: The power of water is seen in the environments it shapes. It also plays a central role in shaping the diverse array of perspectives, backgrounds, and vocations of all AFS members. Water connects the work of all of our members in some way.

COLOR: The darker blue signifies the range of freshwater systems that include streams, rivers, reservoirs, lakes, and ponds.
