OVERVIEW: Amigos de Jesus is not a volunteer program; it is a children’s home with volunteers. It is the place where 100 boys, girls and young adults call home. Amigos de Jesus is a family. We invite foreign volunteers to live in an intentional community as part of our family to meet our children’s needs by filling roles otherwise difficult to find in rural Honduras. Amigos volunteers supplement our work, but do not take jobs from the local community. Our volunteers serve where needed, usually in education, administration, health care, and child care.
