Atlanta Ministry with International Students (AMIS) provides friendship and
hospitality to the more than 8,000 international students from 140 nations studying
at colleges and universities in the metro-Atlanta area. AMIS is a French word that
means "friends" and symbolizes our mission.
With the support of churches, civic and service organizations, and corporations,
we connect international students with "host" families and individuals in a number
of different ways, providing students with opportunities for meaningful and personal
relationships with American families and individuals.
Since March 1978, we have built friendship and hospitality bridges with over
50,000 students. Many of these personal relationships still exist today.
We invite both international students and Atlanta families/individuals to learn
more about AMIS and get involved in this "grass roots" effort to promote world peace
through one-on-one connections.
