Become a Correspondent Volunteer

Correspondent Volunteers (CVs) come from all across the Americas to participate in AMIGOS. Instead of training with a local chapter, CVs are supported by professional staff members at the International Office in Houston.

To be a CV, you must be motivated and have a high level of maturity. CVs complete fundraising and training activities independently with support from International Office staff. CVs are required to attend a gateway training in Miami or Houston immediately prior to their departure to Latin America.

Training Materials and a Fundraising Guide will be provided to help you get ready and raise funds towards your Participation Fee. Assistance in seeking high school or college credit is also available and encouraged.

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.

“I honestly think that it is one of the best volunteer programs that I’ve been through. I think the kind of sensitivity and awareness training that they give you is better than anything I’ve had.”

–Shannon Stackhouse, Veteran Volunteer
