Applying for Membership
Each year, approximately 45 boys join Amigos Unidos, forming two separate classes within each grade. Boys are eligible if they reside or attend school in Manhattan Beach or Hermosa Beach.
Interested in learning more about membership in Amigos Unidos? Sign up here for more information.
There are several wonderful volunteer organizations for young men in the South Bay. If you are offered a spot in Amigos Unidos and choose to accept, we ask that you focus your volunteer involvement with Amigos Unidos and decline invitations to join other similar organizations. This will allow you to fully participate and get the most out of the Amigos experience, while also making room for other students to take part in these opportunities.
