About Us

Partnerships that build cultural awareness.

We do this through arts and culture, agro-environmental, architecture and urbanism projects, focusing on education that leads to sustainable, healthy, urban and rural environments. We take hospitality seriously bringing people to the heart of our homes and creating fun cultural events and fundraisers. All our projects aim to include strong civic action and social services through the Americas. Learn more about Partners of the Americas

Our Mission:

Promoting Leadership, Understanding and Opportunity in the Americas
We not only dream of a better world, we roll up our sleeves and make a difference. As citizen volunteers from Illinois – together with our counterpart volunteers in Sao Paulo, Brazil we work in partnership to improve the lives of people across the hemisphere. In its 50-year history, Partners has evolved into 120 volunteer chapters linked in 60 partnerships in countries or states in Latin America and the Caribbean. Each volunteer chapter is organized as a private, nonprofit institution with by-laws and regularly-elected officers. Partnerships build cultural awareness and implement projects that improve the quality of life of others. Partners of the Americas welcomes all individuals and organizations willing to share their skills and work toward greater international cooperation among the people of the Western Hemisphere.
