AMIGOS Voices

“In 1999, I married one of my fellow field supervisors from my summer in Costa Rica, and all of my closest friends with whom I’ve kept in touch over the years are friends I made through AMIGOS. The common base of values and experience creates a powerful glue that keeps us connected despite diverging paths in life.”
