Can AMIGOS volunteers receive school credit?
Many volunteers do arrange to receive school credit for their participation. In some high schools, credit is built into the curriculum. Ask your chapter leaders and guidance counselor. For college students, AMIGOS can be structured to be an independent studies course. Talk to professors in the departments of Spanish, Portuguese, Latin American Studies, political science, anthropology, geography. If you still need assistance, contact the International Office. Credit must be pre-arranged in all cases.
