Mission
We are a growing organization that promotes the Filipino culture among students, while having fun at the same time. ANYONE can be a part of AFS, as long as you are willing to make new friends and have a great time. AFS is not only considered an organization, but a FAMILY.
Our general body meetings are held biweekly on Wednesdays at 5 PM in Fall and Spring. Check our our social media below for more updates:

Alumni can attest that they have made long lasting friendship through AFS. Members come together, for meetings, social activities, intramural sports, and Filipino community events. The members of AFS have also organized themselves to address the issues and concerns that affect them both on and off campus. AFS exists to encourage academic achievement to promote social interaction and to raise cultural, political, and community awareness among its members and also to the outside community.
OUR PILLARS:
- Family
- Philanthropy
- Culture

AFS DANCE TEAM: *FORGING A MOVEMENT*
_________________________________________________
Previously named "AFS at USF" after its
umbrella organization, the Association of
Filipino Students, Forging a Movement
implemented their new team concept in
Spring 2016, although the team has been
around for years. The new concept was
made to bring a more family-oriented aspect
to the team as well as help give the team a
more clear identity. It is a non-audition
urban dance team, and is mainly known for
competing in Def Talent Jam in Gainesville,
Florida during the Fall, and PhilFest
Revolution in Tampa, Florida during the
Spring
