All FAWCO members are eligible to join FAUSA when moving to North America. We encourage you to use the resources provided below to assist your club members during what can be a challenging transition.
Why join FAUSA?
When you have lived or are living outside of your home country, you see the world through different eyes. You’ve experienced new perspectives, cultures, languages, foods, traveling and so much more! There can be challenges to this ‘reverse culture shock,’ including homesickness for the country or countries you lived in. FAUSA connections can help with this transition.
A FAUSA membership is a lovely parting gift for any FAWCO club member moving to North America. This costs as little as $35 per year! FAUSA offers the chance to reconnect with old friends and build relationships with others who understand and share experiences of living abroad. Find details on membership and dues on our Membership Page, or contact the Membership VP to learn more.
