How to Become a Volunteer

Your first step towards becoming an AMIGOS Volunteer is to determine if you live near a local chapter by taking a look at our Chapter Location Map. If there is a chapter nearby, you should contact it for application information. If you do not live near a chapter, then you'll be applying and training as a Correspondent Volunteer (CV).

Two Paths to Becoming an AMIGOS Volunteer

Become a Correspondent Volunteer

Much like an independent study program, the Correspondent Volunteer (CV) Program serves as an alternative for Volunteers outside of chapter areas or with schedules too busy to accommodate chapter training schedules.

For more info on becoming a Correspondent Volunteer, see the Correspondent Volunteer pages.

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.

The deadline for participating in summer 2008 programs has elapsed. Please contact us if you are interested in volunteering with AMIGOS in summer 2009. Project dates and the application deadline will be announced in the fall.

Become a Volunteer Through Your Local Chapter

AMIGOS chapters recruit, select, train, and organize fundraising activities for Volunteers within their home community. Chapter Volunteers train as a group, work together to fundraise participation fees, and receive support from a local group of adult leaders. Each chapter has its own application deadline in the fall.

For more info on volunteering through a chapter, first see if there is a Chapter located in your area using the Chapter Location Map. Then contact that chapter for more information.

We would love to hear from you!

“The other Volunteers you work with are awesome people. Everybody has sort of the same mind-set as you. It’s great to be surrounded by people that want to volunteer and want to take part in something that is so special.”
