What Volunteers Say

Below are some representative quotes from our past and current volunteers.  Read what our future leaders have to say!

"Amazing, is the only word that I can use to describe my time spent with AMIGOS. And, talking with other volunteers about their experiences, it seems the same word always pops up, “amazing”! There really is no other way to describe the unbelievable experiences. incredible relationships acquired, and the otherwise unobtainable knowledge that is gained through being a part of Amigos de las Americas. Before I went to Bolivia for my second summer, I had no idea what I wonted to do with my life. I had just finished my sophomore year of college, and was already questioning my second major. After spending only three short weeks in my community, I finally realized what it was I wanted to do with my life. I can honestly say that AMIGOS has changed my life forever. Although I was not a volunteer this past summer, I did spend the year helping to train our 18 volunteers for their own amazing summers. I hope to be an active participant of Amigos de las Americas for a long time."

"I joined AMIGOS to be a part of a culture completely foreign to me and use my time and training experience to improve the quality of life for the people in my host community."

Matt H - volunteer



"... a chance of a lifetime to really make a difference in the world.  I feel so lucky to be able to use my skills to help others improve their lives.  I'm only one person - I didn't think I could do much.  Now I see that with this chance, I can change the world and improve lives."
