Become a Correspondent Volunteer

Correspondent Volunteers (CVs) come from all across the Americas to participate in AMIGOS. Instead of training with a local chapter, CVs are supported by professional staff members at the International Office in Houston.

To be a CV, you must be motivated and have a high level of maturity. CVs complete fundraising and training activities independently with support from International Office staff. CVs are required to attend a gateway training in Miami or Houston immediately prior to their departure to Latin America.

Training Materials and a Fundraising Guide will be provided to help you get ready and raise funds towards your Participation Fee. Assistance in seeking high school or college credit is also available and encouraged.

If you would like to receive more information about AMIGOS by mail, complete our inquiry form with your contact information. For additional questions, please contact AMIGOS via email at info@amigoslink.org or by calling (800) 231-7796.

“Ironically, I was in a small town in the middle of Mexico and speaking in a foreign language when I found that people really listened to what I had to say and respected my opinions. They saw me as an equal, despite my age and my, at times, shaky Spanish skills.”

–Melissa Tran, Veteran Volunteer
