Mission & Vision
As we gradually grow and learn, our goal for Siempre Amigos is to continue to create spaces that bring together a varying array of actors interested in taking action by coming together and working hand-in-hand to further improve our communities.
Costa Rica’s economy is largely fueled by international tourism; however, oftentimes wealth is not distributed well, creating vast inequality between locals in the area and tourists who come to vacation. Our mission as an organization is to unify forces and efforts of international and local volunteers to work together to reduce conditions of poverty and forge empathy, understanding, and unification of diverse cultures, coming together as one to help create a fair and more equitable world in the long term.
Provide a space where minds and hearts of various sectors of our global society have an opportunity to reach their own potential while at the same time developing more agents of change who, in turn, then transform their own communities.
To unify the forces and energies of foreign and local volunteers to work together to reduce conditions of poverty and, in turn, forge empathy, understanding, and unification of diverse cultures, striving towards a more equitable and just world. To achieve this goal, an earnest desire for positive change is required from each and every volunteer at every moment; hence, our high impact interventions require flexibility and patience due to the fact adaptability is key in our work.
As an organization, we are committed to aid not only the needs of our stakeholders, but also our volunteers to ensure the success of the project where we are assisting. As a result, people who partake in our initiatives can expect excellency on behalf of our staff in planning, coordination, implementation, as well as delivering quality work materials for our service.
