Mission Statement
AMIGOS is creating a world in which young people realize their full potential as leaders and global citizens through opportunities to collaborate with US and Latin American youth, community members, and partner organizations to design and lead community projects across the Americas.
About This Cause
AMIGOS is a leader in international youth development. Our Summer Programs give young people, ages 16 to 25, an opportunity to gain life experience and leadership training over 4 to 9 weeks of living and working with communities across the Americas. Program participants work with US and Latin American peers to design and lead community projects related to areas such as public health, youth engagement, and environmental sustainability. AMIGOS training prepares participants to manage projects, organize community members, solve problems, accept re- sponsibility, and learn from others. Program participants live with a host family in a community, experiencing day to day life as a local, not a tourist. This authentic cultural and language immersion enables youth to have an impactful and unforgettable summer.
