"Americas Global Foundation is becoming an instrument of growth in my life. It is a tool and a vehicle for Latin American countries to enter effectively into the U.S.A. and global market…. Mr. Pinzon may describe AGF in terms of its vision, mission, goals and projects; But I say that AGF is just people helping people!"  -Daniel Cardona, AGF Intern, Teacher from Puerto Rico

“During my internship at AGF, I was so glad to become involved in AGF’s “Empowerment -Agents of Change” Internship and Leadership Development Program, as I was asked to assist Mr. Victor Pinzon in the program promotion and planning. These experiences enriched my thinking of promotion, not only of the product itself, but also of the services and benefits the internship program offers. Thus, I gained experience, which relates and complements exactly what I have learned in International Business courses; such as media strategy in advertisement, the service trade sector and the logistic sector.”  Ligina Gong, AGF Intern, from China

“As an alumnus of the Foundation, I believe that AGF is heading in the right direction, doing what others have not done yet and trying to accomplish a goal that would alter the lives and minds of many people from various cultural and ethnic backgrounds. I can proudly say that Americas Global Foundation is committed to training, developing and coaching future leaders through a unique comprehensive empowering program. “ - David Dzidzikashvili, AGF Intern, from Republic of Georgia

Who are we?
Americas Global Foundation (AGF) is a 501(c)(3) NGO, nonpartisan, think-tank organization based in Washington, DC whose mission is to address and offer solutions to some of the major needs and challenges impacting Hispanics in the United States, and the people of Latin America and Caribbean helping them achieve their educational, economic and political empowerment. Our associates include highly motivated professionals, community leaders and average individuals. We are proud of and stress Hispanic representation from each and all Latin American countries and other communities.

    We work aggressively studying, researching and offering sound solutions and strategic plans on specific unique empowerment programs to strengthen education, economic development, democracy, social justice, civil society and the rule of law; reducing poverty and injustice; advancing cooperation and human achievement, equal opportunities and fairness in the region. Through our intensive work and accomplishments since 1991, our Foundation has achieved substantial recognition and has established strong relationships with members of the US Congress, The White House, Federal agencies, multilaterals, Ambassadors, and other NGOs, as well as the private sector in the US, Latin American and Caribbean countries.

Purpose
    AGF seeks to bring to Washington, DC groups of 15 or more highly motivated university students, professionals, government officials and others from countries of Latin America, the Caribbean and Hispanics and others from around the US. We plan to bring hundreds and in later years more than a thousand participants annually to Washington. Thereby, our program will develop a critical mass of what we call “Empowerment -Agents of Change” who will contribute to achieve our Foundation’s mission.

    We are living in times of unprecedented technological changes and of great opportunities, yet Hispanic Americans in the United States and the people of Latin America continue to face great challenges in many areas of their daily lives. We have designed our program to contribute to overcoming these challenges.

    We plan to provide our interns and other program participants coming to Washington, DC an exceptional opportunity. The opportunity to learn, observe, experience how the government of the United States and democracy works, how other supporting entities work; meet with, listen from and exchange with government officials, private sector executives, and establish long lasting relationships. One of our goals is to successfully replicate other organization’s programs in Washington that have produced presidents of countries, senators, governors, ministers, CEOs, successful, influential business people, professionals, etc., but our focus is Hispanics in the US and the people of Latin America.

    When our alumni return to their cities and countries of origin, AGF will provide logistic support to help them achieve their personal professional goals. We will encourage them to actively participate in our growing hemispheric and global network through Internet and other technology. We plant to provide our alumni the tools and communications support for them to become "Empowerment -Agents of Change;" thereby, contributing to the economic, educational, social and political empowerment of the people of Latin America and Hispanics in the United States.

Alternative programs
    There are other excellent intern programs in Washington, DC. Those programs focus primarily on university students or graduates and on U.S. non-Hispanics. The cost of those programs vary from $10,000 to $17,000 or more per intern, including basically housing and program administration. The interns in those programs are assigned to work 4 to 4 ½ days per week to one office or entity during the duration of the program. AGF offers its program not only to university students but also to professionals, government officials and others, primarily from Latin America, the Caribbean and Hispanics in the U.S. AGF's program requires, in general, a significant more administrative attention and resources to each participant. Additionally, AGF’s logistic support to its alumni will be second to none.
