Dear HSFSA chapter members, officers, and advisors,
Since 2021, the High School Foreign Service Association (HSFSA) has worked to bring diplomacy and the U.S. Foreign Service to high schools across the U.S. Having garnered a strong community and impacted thousands of students, the organization is entering a new stage in its journey.
To that end, we are broadening our mission to additional aspects of international relations education and awareness, while still maintaining a strong focus on the Foreign Service. From now on, the organization is known as the Youth International Relations Coalition (YIRC). We are excited to keep working with all our old chapters throughout this transition!

About Us
High School Foreign Service Association | HSFSA
The High School Foreign Service Association is a non-partisan organization of high school clubs for students passionate about diplomacy. Our community includes over 150 schools in 30 states, uniting well over 2,500 students who share an interest in foreign policy.
Our mission is twofold: we strive to raise youth awareness about the importance of the U.S. Foreign Service and its officers' work, and we seek to forge the next generation of American diplomacy through education and guidance.
Working with the American Foreign Service Association, we connect high schoolers with experienced diplomats, creating a medium to learn from firsthand experience. HSFSA chapters build upon this knowledge through a variety of additional events, ranging from foreign policy discussions to awareness campaigns.
