The Foundation for Amigos de las Américas

The Foundation for Amigos de las Américas was established in December 2003 as an independent 501(c)(3) organization to support the youth leadership and sustainable development work of Amigos de las Américas (AMIGOS). The dream of creating the Foundation was born out of the desire to take full advantage of the opportunities available to AMIGOS to make a difference in both the lives of youth Volunteers and of Latin American communities. Working together with alumni, parents, chapters, and Volunteers, the Foundation will enable AMIGOS to strengthen the volunteer experience, enhance relationships with Latin American communities and partner agencies, and expand the reach of the AMIGOS mission.

AMIGOS Voices

“The youth of the world need to prepare themselves for a world without borders, and as often as we have the opportunity to intertwine another cultures’ life-experience with our own, we should take it. This is the trend of things, and experiences like AMIGOS will make that transition all the more smooth.”
