WHAT WE DO
Building Movements Piece by Peace
Birth of the Movement:
POR
AMOR was founded in 2003 by four young women as a volunteer initiative to provide free educational workshops for at risk youth in Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic. POR
AMOR fundraised all the resources required to facilitate our volunteer project in 2004.
Since the successful completion of our pilot project at Integracion Juvenil in 2004, POR
AMOR continues to support community efforts for development in the Dominican Republic. POR
AMOR has also begun local initiatives within our own community, Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Our innovative projects focus on health, the environment and all aspects of the arts. Part of our fundraising initiatives include live events, facilitating a collaboration of artistic talent within Toronto and abroad to raise awareness, build community and provide financial support to POR
AMOR’s projects.
Our Focus:
International Projects

AMOR programs in art, music, health and the environment to youth based programs in the Dominican Republic and world wide, enabling them to become effective forces for change in their communities.
