Each center has a mailing address which parents can use to keep in touch with their son/daughter while on an SFS program. Please refer to the "Communications" section in the appropriate Student Field Preparation Guide for individual addresses. Except in Kenya, students have access to a telephone to make outgoing calls and may call home as time allows.

Emergency contact should be with the SFS headquarters office in Salem, Massachusetts. Monday to Friday, 8:30am to 5:00pm (EST), emergency calls should be made to the SFS main line at 978.741.3544. At all other times emergency calls should be made to 978.741.3567. Individuals should press "2" to leave a message that will activate the emergency beeper 24 hours a day while programs are in session. While the headquarters staff will know the whereabouts of the student group at all times, it may require 24 hours or more to get in touch with staff in some cases.
