   Update: Secretary of State Awards for Outstanding Volunteerism Abroad (SOSA): Celebrating Our 2025 SOSA Honorees

Although the 2025 ceremony has been postponed indefinitely, their achievements are fully honored, with AAFSW ensuring both recognition and full award funding, so their impact is recognized without pause.
