AMIGOS offers innovative programs and an exceptional history
For more than four decades, Amigos de las Américas (AMIGOS) has
facilitated transformational community service involving more than
20,000 youth Volunteers and thousands of communities in Latin America.
Through our programs, high school and college-aged Volunteers jump in
with head, heart, and hands to contribute to health, education, and
environmental service projects.
AMIGOS works to unite the Americas
AMIGOS projects are a collaborative effort between our participants,
a vigorous network of Pan-American partner agencies, and the local
knowledge and experience of our host communities.
AMIGOS values youth leadership and creativity
At the center of AMIGOS are the youth Volunteers who become
catalysts, teachers, learners, and friends through the implementation
of community service projects. These same Volunteers return to lead our
programs in Latin America as Project Staff. AMIGOS is committed to
being a youth-led organization in which creativity, initiative, and
multicultural understanding are highly valued.
We would love to hear from you!
