They oversee a route comprised entirely of college student Volunteers and as such, organize&nbsp;additional opportunities to further engage them in the structure of AMIGOS programs. College Division&nbsp;Supervisors schedule meetings with partner agency representatives and their route of college students so that&nbsp;these Volunteers have the opportunity to gain a more in-depth, hands-on understanding of the partner agency&rsquo;s&nbsp;work and how collaboration with AMIGOS further supports and develops their organization&rsquo;s mission.
