Volunteer Programs for Individuals
Over the past decade, thousands of people from the United States and abroad have participated in our volunteer programs. Past, present and future volunteers make long term sustainable development possible in our partnering communities. Amizade offers two types of volunteer opportunities for individuals:
Volunteer Programs (1 – 3 weeks) include a variety of people from different backgrounds, coming together to focus on a single, community-identified project. Each program includes a combination of volunteer service, cultural programming and recreational activities. Volunteer Programs are scheduled at various locations throughout the year.
Volunteer Placements (2 weeks & longer) are for individuals who have additional time to volunteer and are interested in a more personalized inter-cultural experience. Volunteer placements include home-stays, local language tutoring (where applicable) and are customized to the interests and capabilities of each participant. Volunteer Placements are currently available in Bolivia and Jamaica.
