This experience changed my life! Now, I have more dreams and some other goals. I'm so thankful for everything that I've learned. I want to continue growing as a human and as a teacher. The Amity program is one the best things that ever happened to me." - Michelle, 2018-2019 Intern

We have been working with Amity for several years. Learning about different cultures, communities, traditions, music, arts, dances and more, helps our students to see the world as a global place fostering diversity and respect. Having a second adult in the classroom helps our teachers to be able to have more individualized attention to students and work on small groups. Amity has been a wonderful organization to work with, reliable and accessible, bringing highly qualified young people to work in our school."- Maria Buceta Miller, Amity School Coordinator, John Stanford International School

“In this photo, we are at the University Food Bank, where we had the opportunity to collaborate with the fifth-grade Spanish students from McDonald International School. During our visit, we worked as a team packing rice into bags, a task that not only allowed us to help those in need but also enjoy an environment of cooperation and learning.

It was a very fun and enriching experience, where we all came together to make a difference, while also strengthening our bonds as a group. Each one of us contributed actively, and in the end, we felt proud to have been part of such an important cause.”
