The Booster Club (Boosters) is an independent organization established in 1977 to support athletes and athletics at AISV. It is run by volunteers and governed by a five-member board. It has steadily grown to become an integral part of the athletic program and the school. The Boosters' principal goals are to promote enthusiasm and support for AISV athletic programs, to provide financial aid to athletic programs, to ensure that AISV athletes are competitive, and to recognize AISV athletes for their contributions and participation. To accomplish this, the Boosters raise funds through a variety of ways, including sales of food, drinks, and clothing. Volunteers are welcome and essential to the success of the club.

AISV supports parents who wish to be actively engaged as volunteers at the school. Volunteers provide a valuable service and are very much appreciated. Some volunteer opportunities include working with classroom teachers and librarians. Volunteers in classrooms may be assigned to work with individual children, especially in the lower grade levels. For the purposes of establishing a routine and schedule, AISV requires a commitment of at least one morning or afternoon per week.

Parents interested in this activity should contact the Elementary School Principal.

AISV is governed by a 10-member Executive Board, eight of whom are elected by the Parents' Association that sponsors the School, one who is appointed by the U.S. Ambassador, and the Director (ex-officio). Membership in the Association is automatically conferred on the parents or guardians of children enrolled in the School.

The Executive Board sets general policies and is responsible for hiring the School Director, who oversees the operations of the school.

Contact the Nominations Committee if you would like to volunteer to make a difference in the governance at AISV.
