Whitney who was an Amigo in Michoacan last summer was voted by the senior class of her high school (which is one of the most outstanding high schools in San Diego County) as the person most likely to turn out like Mother Theresa. AMIGOS definitely helped shape Whitney over the last year and I can’t think of a much greater honor by her peers than to be recognized this way. - Bob, Parent His host family called him the day after he got home. At first I couldn’t imagine why they would do that. Then it occurred to me that they were also now family. They miss him, too. It made me wish I knew them. It made me cry. I read somewhere, and always agreed, that a child can never have too many people who love him. - Jean, Parent "It turns out the Dominican Republic was a wonderful experience for [Jodi]. She was able to experience independence and she was also able to recognize how different cultures live abroad." - Gilbert Rodriguez Amigos de las Américas inspires leaders through authentic service and immersion experiences.Impact Staff & Board Join our Team Financials Our Donors Corporate Partners Media History Alumni Diversity & Inclusion Support Partners Chapter Resources AMIGOS Store Events Contact Us Lifelong Leaders Luncheon Benefit Adelante Benefit Our Programs Summer Volunteer Programs Gap Year Programs Project Staff Custom Volunteer Programs Youth Ambassadors Para Jóvenes de América Latina Learn More How to Join AMIGOS Admissions Info Sessions Homestays Fees & Financial Assistance College Credit HISD Abroad For Parents For Educators Health & Safety Testimonials Volunteering & Gap Year Guides FAQ Find a Local Chapter Share your AMIGOS story Share Your Ideas (Survey) Blog La Carta Field Notes News Donate ApplyApply Contact (713) 782-5290 3730 Kirby Drive, Suite 1200 Houston, TX 77098 – Chat Provider: LiveChat© 2024 Amigos de las Americas | Privacy Policy Amigos is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization. © 2024 Amigos de las Americas | Privacy Policy Amigos is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization. © 2024 Amigos de las Americas | Privacy Policy Stay in touch Sign up below and we’ll send you more info about AMIGOS programs.
