Partners of the Americas is a non-profit, non-partisan international grassroots network. We connect volunteer, institutions and communities to serve and to change lives. A network engaging 10,000 volunteers through over 100 chapters each year, Partners is unique in the Americas. We are women, men, youth leaders, teachers, parents, doctors, business owners, students, retirees, carpenters, farmers, Republicans, and Democrats all committed to a more peaceful and prosperous hemisphere.
Through the leadership of our own volunteers, we are embarking on an exciting campaign to raise $150,000 by March 31, 2011. This campaign will help us continue to support the Partners network and empower our chapters and volunteers to help turn their ideas for a more sustainable and prosperous Western Hemisphere into a reality.

As a people-to-people volunteer organization, investing in our volunteers is critical. As volunteers, we want to contribute to the efforts of Partners to deliver on its mission to Connect, Serve, and Change Lives. That's why a group of us has gotten together and committed to raising $150,000 through our first annual Partners’ Campaign. For each dollar donated, Partners is able to leverage many more to build sustainable programs and support our volunteer's as they connect, serve and change lives.
For over 45 years, Partners has made it possible for ordinary people to make extraordinary changes in the lives of thousands. We do so by connecting volunteers with other passionate individuals with a shared desire to make our world a better place. For Paula Laschober, a lifelong volunteer with the Washington/Chile partnership, it's simple:
"We know that our volunteer work with Partners has meaning. It literally changes the world. Sometimes, when people ask me why I do it, I say it's my small contribution to world peace."
Partners helps build relationships that make change possible.
When our volunteers in Haiti set out to train impoverished families to help them supplement their incomes, Partners put them in touch with a volunteer veterinarian in Northern California. Today, over 700 families are raising rabbits and have found a sustainable way of improving their livelihoods and communities.
This is just one example of how the Partners network of volunteers comes together to help each other change lives and turn ideas into concrete actions. Your support will help us transfer resources, knowledge and talent to our volunteers and help them achieve the change we all want to see.

About Me: All of my life I have been involved in voluntary programs. But it was my arrival at Partners of the Americas three years ago when I began meeting a different kind of volunteer, those who are in for the long haul, who have served continuously for 40 years, or 30 or 15 years. As a Citizen Philanthropist I hope to raise money to support more volunteers who want to connect, serve and change lives through Partners of the Americas. I hope you will join me in supporting Partners of the Americas with your donation.
