in the program since it began. Program organization The National Office of AMIGOS is still located in Houston and employs a small staff year-round to manage the programs. Sara Nathan is the President and CEO. AMIGOS encourages returning project participants to take leadership roles within the organization. Each project (generally organized geographically and thematically) is led by a Project Director, who is aided by an Associate Project Director. Senior Project Supervisors and Project Supervisors oversee individual community projects and act as liaisons between Project Leadership Teams and participants in community. Alumni can also stay active by joining a local chapter board. The Community Impact Project The summer of 2020 volunteers was impacted significantly by COVID-19. In response, Amigos de las Américas created a six-week online experience for young people to obtain the benefits of a traditional experience while also benefiting their community. In groups of 8-12 students from both the U.S. and Latin America, participants connect with other students and still are able to participate in a cross-cultural exchange.
