Welcome to the Phoenix Chapter of Amigos de las Américas.
Amigos de las Américas (AMIGOS) is an international, not-for-profit
organization with more than 25 chapters across the United States that
provides unparalleled leadership and community service opportunities
for young people while concurrently contributing to the well-being of
hundreds of communities throughout the Americas.
Since its founding in 1965, more than 20,000 high school and
college-age students have served as AMIGOS Volunteers. Through
their training and service experience they gain life-changing insights
about other cultures, effective civic engagement and their personal
potential.
AMIGOS gives young people an extraordinary opportunity to rise to the
challenge of independently managing great responsibility within
multicultural settings. Extensive training programs teach youth
valuable skills, such as how to build effective teams to foster
sustainable community improvements. Teams of two to four
Volunteers live and work in host communities, conducting a wide array
of health, education and environmental projects in collaboration with
local youth.
The Phoenix Amigos Chapter was formed in 2006 and sent its first group
of volunteers to Latin America during the summer of 2007.
