spring appeal 2025

This spring, your donation can help empower the next generation of leaders who are making a real impact in Latin America through AMIGOS volunteer programs. As one of our volunteers from last summer shared: 

“The biggest thing I gained from participating in AMIGOS was being able to let go of control and feel okay with that…

Life was really unpredictable, minute by minute, and it taught me how to be present with what I am doing. I gained the skills of being in tune with the conversations, emotions, and thoughts I was constantly having.”

By supporting AMIGOS, you can help more young people gain these important life skills while serving communities in need. 

Why your support matters

AMIGOS programs don’t just offer volunteer opportunities—they provide a chance for young people to grow as leaders. Volunteers work on real-world projects in local communities, facing challenges that teach them how to be adaptable and aware in any situation. Your donation will help provide these transformative experiences for future volunteers.
