Description

Amizade volunteers have the opportunity to learn about Navajo life and culture, work on a community-led service project, and explore the natural beauty of the area. One of Amizade's core values is providing community-driven service, meaning that the Navajo community defines a priority project and we work with them on it. You will have the opportunity to meet Navajo community members and work together on service projects. Our volunteers often tutor Navajo school children or help improve school or community facilities. Our Navajo hosts put a high priority on your learning about Navajo life and culture and sharing this knowledge with your home community so that their way of life is better understood.

 
Cost Details
The cost of the first two weeks is $1,930 and each additional week is $450. These fees cover lodging (home stay), meals, volunteer placement, cultural and recreational activities, Amizade administration and staffing fees. Airfare and immunizations are the responsibility of the volunteer. Volunteers must commit to a minimum of two weeks but can extend well beyond that.

Detailed Location Information
In addition to service that emphasizes learning about Navajo life and culture, you will participate in cultural and recreational activities. These activities differ slightly for our two sites, but include visiting an open air market, cultural museums, mesa hikes, visiting nearby national landmarks, learning from local Navajo families about land use, jewelry making, and sampling traditional foods.
