BECOME A LOCAL COORDINATOR
Begin Your Journey.A FLAG Local Coordinator (LC) functions as an independent contractor who represents FLAG in their local community. FLAG LC's are engaged in a unique opportunity to impact global relations through a grassroots diplomatic initiative focusing on the exchange experience of one student at a time. LC's play a vital role in the lives of students from around the world (including the U.S.) who are developing their world view. LC's have the opportunity to ensure that view is built on a foundation of appreciation, trust and mutual respect. LC’s efforts impact international relations today, tomorrow and for decades to come. Rarely, if ever, does an individual in the U.S. play such an important role in U.S. State Department diplomacy.
The role of a Local Coordinator (LC) is simple, but very valuable. As an LC, you will:
1. Identify & recruit quality host families
2. Serve as the liaison between FLAG, the host family and the student
3. Support the host family and the student during the student’s long or short-term exchange
4. Build global friendships that will last a lifetime!
