Amizade (pronounced ah-mee-za-jee) empowers individuals and communities through service and learning worldwide. Amizade offers alternative travel programs as well as courses for college credit that combine education, community service and recreation.

Since 1994, Amizade has placed over 4,000 volunteers at service sites throughout the world.

Programs are rooted in Amizade’s core values:

Community-Driven Service: Amizade works collaboratively with communities to identify issues, implement projects and evaluate outcomes.

Deliberate Learning: We cooperate with community members and organizations to educate participants about local culture, local concerns, and local assets.

Intercultural Immersion and Exchange: Amizade experiences ensure deep learning about cultural assumptions, worldviews, and the concerns and happiness that we all hold in common.

Consideration of Global Citizenship: Amizade invites all participants to reflect on fundamental human equality and how we might each work to build a world where human life is treated more equally across traditional cleavages of ethnicity, nation, class, or gender.

Reflective Inquiry: Amizade encourages reflective inquiry to encourage participants to stay connected to global civic engagement after a short-term experience.
