is a non-profit organization that works with high school and college-age students in the United States, sending each of the participants to a community in one of nine Latin-American countries over the course of 4-8 weeks. During their service trip, the volunteers collaborate with their respective communities on a designated project concerning health, nutrition, sustainability, or education. This cross-cultural experience is a wonderful opportunity for volunteers to develop social, leadership, and language skills; since 1965, Amigos has sent more than 20,000 student volunteers to nine countries.
