Amizade

Amizade is the product of hundreds of service-learning pioneers who have engaged in over two decades of programmatic and academic development; it is the result of never-ending efforts by communities around the world to welcome others; and it is an ongoing global movement by over 26,000 alums, and hundreds of thousands of others, to create a more joyful and just world.

MISSION
Amizade inspires empathy, catalyzes social action, and links diverse communities through Fair Trade Learning.

VISION
To create a world where diverse communities connect freely, forge lasting relationships, and build a more just planet together.

WHAT WE DO
Tens of thousands of individuals have helped make Amizade what it is today – an organization dedicated to mutual empowerment through service and learning. Our operations consist of four core activities:

1. Amizade collaborates with universities, high schools, community groups, and companies to design and manage safe and empowering global service-learning and volunteer programs.

2. Amizade works closely with communities all over the world to develop and manage sustainable and empowering initiatives. In the process, we create strong cross-cultural bonds and new global citizens.

3. Amizade acts as a catalyst for improvement in international education, developing innovative curriculum and sector changing ideals like Fair Trade Learning, and sharing best practices with others through consulting.
