Welcome to the Chicago North Chapter of Amigos de las Americas! Amigos de las America is a non-profit youth-oriented organization. Our mission is to build partnerships to empower young leaders, advance community development and strengthen multi-cultural understanding in the Americas. Every year a select group of volunteers spends 4 - 8 weeks in a host country working on different public health projects. Countries where volunteers live and work for the summer in rural, semi-rural, or modernizing communities in Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, and Paraguay. Throughout the school-year our chapter prepares its members for their Latin American experience through training in cross-cultural sensitivity, technical skills, community development approaches, personal health & safety procedures, and the culture of Latin America. In June, our chapter volunteers travel to their assigned countries. Once in-country, volunteers join with volunteers from other chapters throughout the United States. Volunteers are then placed, in partnerships of two to four, in communities of their host country to live for the summer. Life-long friendships have been built between AMIGOS volunteers and their adopted communities. Thousands of young people have learned invaluable lessons about cultural differences, community service, and their own ability to lead. Come be part of the Amigos legacy!
