About Program
Amigos de Jesús volunteers work and live alongside our Honduran staff and children. They contribute to the transformation of each of our children with their energy, creativity, commitment, teamwork and unconditional love for our children.
Amigos de Jesús volunteers don’t come for a job, they come because they are called to love our children. Each volunteer does this in a unique way while embodying the Amigos de Jesús Family Values:
1. Imitate the attitude and behavior of Jesus Christ
2. Aspire toward self-sustainability
3. Be disciples of the children
4. Find hope
Volunteers all have a primary job(s) in the areas of child care, education or administration. Placements in the school are currently the most common. Job placement is a mutual discernment process based on volunteers’ skills and interests and needs of the Amigos de Jesús family. Volunteers spend much of their out of work time including evenings and weekends with the children.
Consider your impact: Volunteering abroad can be a rewarding experience for both volunteers and local communities, and at Go Overseas, we believe all volunteers should have the resources to make informed decisions about the type of volunteer project they want to partake in. However, despite best intentions, some organizations offering placements in orphanages may unknowingly place children in danger. You can read about the potential dangers of orphanage volunteering here.
