OUR MISSION

Our mission is to support and enhance the lives and academic skills of students who speak English as a second language. 

We offer a volunteer program, helping children to :

  • Improve academic and language skills.

  • Heighten  self-esteem.

  • Adjust to a new environment.

You can become an AMIGO if you:

  • Have an interest in multicultural relationships.

  • Have the desire to impact a child's life.

  • Have at least one hour per week to volunteer.

  • Can complete the training program.

You can participate by volunteering as little as one hour per week by calling Rocio Hlass at 501-682-7849 or Don Francis at 501-682-7670 or 501-682-7540.
