“AMITY MEANS TO ME: opportunity, hope, learning, growth, maturity, culture, love and hard work.

I gained a new and wonderful family, great friends from around the world, a new culture and a new perspective of life. Amity is a great chance to learn, grow up and change the world starting with our own community. If I had the chance, I would do it again. I recommend the Intern experience to everyone!” – Allison Palacios, Amity Intern 2016-2017.

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
