Student Research

Students interested in conducting research in Latin America while serving as an AMIGOS Volunteer must obtain advance approval from the AMIGOS International Office. Please contact kkaper@amigoslink.org prior to March 1, 2008. If your acceptance of a Project Staff position is contingent upon AMIGOS’ approval of your research proposal, you must document this requirement with your application (by the application submission deadline).

AMIGOS Voices

“I have learned that leadership is not a position but rather a way of life. Being a leader means exemplifying wise behavior and considering the welfare of others, not just yourself. In doing so, not only do you set a standard for your peers, but you also encourage them to live life to the fullest by encouraging thought and differing opinions.”
