2013 HIGHLIGHTS Message from our President & CEO Earned Recognition

Sara Nathan, President and CEO

AMIGOS is still transforming the world views of young people and building their capacity to operate as leaders in a complex global environment. We are one of the oldest international youth service and leadership organizations in the Americas. Since 1965, we have been preparing high school and college students to work collaboratively and foster their commitment to improving communities across borders. Working in 11 countries in the Americas, we trained almost 1300 participants in 2013 across a variety of programs, including our summer, Gap and Youth Ambassadors programs. Almost half of those students trained by AMIGOS were from Latin America. The growing involvement of Latin American youth is a shift from the traditional North-to-South development model towards a new culture of globally aware youth who are engaged in changing their communities and the world we live in for the better. Once again AMIGOS is on the forefront of youth leadership, as we create win-win service partnerships that represent respect, reciprocity and true collaboration across cultures.

TABLE OF CONTENTS 1 Message from CEO 2 2013 Highlights 3 Financials & International Board 4 Programs 5 Programs

As we approach our 50th anniversary, AMIGOS is at an important juncture as we build on our past to stay relevant amongst international youth leadership programs. We must make important investments now - today - to build our organizational capacity and infrastructure in order to transform the organization and meet the needs of a new complex global environment. To do this we must raise our game in fund development in order to fund the needed modernization and growth in our business plan.

Our goals for the future: • • • • •

Increased access for youth without the financial means in the U.S. and Latin America.

Diversity. Each person’s unique perspective matters.

Advanced evaluation of our programs to become even better at what we do best: youth leadership.

Catching up with the world around us and modernizing our systems.

Innovation at the local, national and international level.

• Invested in a modern financial/accounting software that, when combined with a redesigned chart of accounts, improves financial management reports for better accountability and analysis.

This new program was run in partnership with Plan Peru and Ayuda en Acción in the temperate Andean region of Cajamarca. AMIGOS Volunteers addressed themes relating to environmental protection, the rights of children, youth participation, and health education.

Merida, Mexico

Perez Zeledon, Costa Rica

AMIGOS partnered with Plan International in the highland provinces of Cañar and Azuay to address a wide range of themes related to community health. Working with networks of formal and informal youth groups, AMIGOS Volunteers addressed themes relating to environmental protection, the rights of children, youth participation, and health education.

Students from our U.S. partner, Summer Search, served as volunteers in communities with one of the following agencies: Cultural Community Center of Yaxunah, Investigación y Educación Popular Autogestiva A.C. (IEPAAC) or Save the Children México.

In this new program model, which began in 2012, Volunteers alternated between living in a host community and carrying out community service in national parks (Parque Nacional Tenorio, Reserva Forestal Rio Macho, and the Reserva Biologica Carara). Costa Rican students volunteered alongside AMIGOS volunteers during each week in the parks.

GAP PROGRAMS

SUMMER PROGRAMS

Gap Year & Gap Semester AMIGOS Volunteers supported Plan's ongoing community development efforts. Specifically, Volunteers worked to complement Plan’s activities by fostering local youth participation in educational activities and to raise awareness about the rights of children.

Guairá, Paraguay

Santiago, Dominican Republic

Madriz, Nicaragua

Volunteers worked to complement Plan Nicaragua's activities centered on fostering local youth participation in educational and service activities and participating in campaigns to increase awareness about children's rights.

PARTNERSHIP PROGRAMS

2013 marked AMIGOS’ 10th year working in the southwest region of the country and partnering with Plan Dominican Republic. Volunteers facilitated activities focused on children´s rights and carried out local community initiatives.

Paraguarí, Paraguay

Barranquilla, Colombia

This program was run in collaboration with Children International in the area around Santiago and with World Vision near the border area of Dajabón. Volunteers carried out community initiatives and extracurricular activities focused on the topics of sports and art.

Volunteers worked with one of four different local development organizations in Oaxaca: Puente a la Salud, the Trilingual Project, Centro de Apoyo al Movement Popular Oaxaqueño (CAMPO) or Services de Salud de Oaxaca (SSO). Activities focused on one of the following topics (respectively): nutrition and food sovereignty; digital culture workshops; sustainable development and public health.

Oaxaca, Mexico

San Juan, Dominican Republic

The Gap Year and Gap Semester program in Nicaragua offered a four or eight-month internship in collaboration with our local partner agencies. This longer program allowed for a more in-depth experience in Latin America and its communities. This program provided high school graduates and college-aged students a head start and an opportunity to enrich their worldview before deciding on a career path. This year, students lived with host families, participated in community development internships, and went on excursions throughout Nicaragua. Learn more: www.amigoslink.org/gap-year-programs

Summer Search In 2012, AMIGOS partnered with Summer Search to offer a project in Yucatan, Mexico exclusively for their students. For six weeks, program volunteers lived with host families and collaborated with the community and partner organization on service projects. www.amigoslink.org/summersearch

Volunteers on this project were split into two groups between our two partners, SENASA and Plan International. Volunteers with SENASA worked with technicians in the construction of latrines and basic community health education. Volunteers with Plan organized and planted family gardens and trees to support reforestation.

Youth Ambassadors The AMIGOS Youth Ambassadors Program is a leadership development, cultural exchange and community service program funded by the US Department of State. This year, AMIGOS administered the Youth Ambassadors Program in Paraguay, Uruguay and the San Francisco Bay Area. During their International Training, participants learned about and engaged with US and South American history and culture through host family stays, service work with US and South American peers, and visits to cultural and historic sites. The International Training provided Youth Ambassadors with hands on experience in the design and implementation of Community-Based Initiative (CBI). After returning home from the International Training, each participant carried out a community project in his/her home community. www.amigoslink.org/yap

In our first university credit program in Latin America, students enrolled in Universidad del Norte (UNINORTE) for two weeks of intensive coursework focused on social immersion and service learning from an anthropological perspective. Upon completion of coursework, students lived and worked in a community with a local organization for six weeks Colombian university students from UNINORTE’s campus volunteer organization, Univoluntarios, served side-by-side with AMIGOS volunteers for the duration of the program.
