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

I would like to sincerely thank you and the Amity Institute for your guidance, support, and encouragement throughout my journey in the United States. Being part of this program has helped me grow both professionally and personally, and I am honored to represent the program through my work in education.

I am very thankful for this opportunity and wanted to share this special milestone with you.

Thank you once again for all your support.”

Congratulations to 3rd place winner of our Volunte Congratulations to 3rd place winner of our Volunteerism Photo Contest, Hongxu Jian!🇨🇳

“As part of our community outreach, I volunteered at Utah House to help introduce Chinese New Year traditions to local 4H youth. We guided the students through two hands-on activities: ink blowing painting (chuimohua) and dumpling making. The children were excited to learn how to wrap dumplings and use chopsticks for the first time. Everyone had a wonderful time exploring these cultural traditions in a fun and interactive setting.”
