Alliance of Multicultural Organizations
What is the Alliance of Multicultural Organizations?
The Alliance of Multicultural Organizations (AMO) is an organization that functions out The Impact Center, whose purpose is to be a resource to the affinity organizations at Bryn Mawr College. It functions as an alliance between these groups, and gives members a forum to offer support to one another in an effort to create a more diverse community.
Through workshops, discussions, and working with The Impact Center staff the goal of the AMO is to help each organization fulfill their mission statement, and create a lasting impact on the Bryn Mawr Community.
