AMIGOS Makes a Difference Today
AMIGOS sponsors projects that have an immediate and real-life impact. Our programs positively contribute to the health, education, and environment of the communities with which we work. Last summer alone AMIGOS Volunteers were able to partner with Latin American communities to achieve incredible results. For example:
- 254 communities impacted
- 324 latrines and 242 fuel-efficient stoves built (5,046 beneficiaries)
- 6,085 educational workshops with young people (70,261 participants)
- 6,744 trees planted (37,593 beneficiaries)
- 355 community centers, clinics, schools built or renovated (64,319 beneficiaries)
AMIGOS is an Investment in the Future
AMIGOS positively enriches the lives of the more than 750 Volunteers and Project Staff that participate in our programs each summer. Each returned Volunteer has the power to take the expanded global view and leadership experience that he or she gains through AMIGOS and to become a change agent in our world. AMIGOS Volunteers are the leaders of tomorrow, and by investing in their training, global perspective, and compassion, you have the power to positively shape our future.
