Amachi Pittsburgh
The mission of Amachi Pittsburgh is to empower young minds to overcome the challenges of parental incarceration and to reach their full potential through one-on-one mentoring, family strengthening and reunification support, and leadership development and youth organizing. We are nationally recognized and award winning as the only organization in the Pittsburgh area with a distinct focus on children of prisoners promise.
COVID-19 UPDATE:
Amachi Pittsburgh’s priority is the health and safety of our families, mentors, and community partners. As a result of COVID-19 and the guidance issued by Pennsylvania Department of Public Health (DPH), our offices will be temporarily closed until further notice, however; Amachi staff are working remotely and are available for support. We understand that this is a difficult and challenging time for everyone; our community as a whole is faced with extra stressors and tasked with additional responsibilities and challenges. Amachi Pittsburgh’s goal is to encourage everyone to please make it a priority to take care of yourself and your family by following the guidelines issued by the PA Department of Public Health, practicing self-care, and reaching out to us if you need help getting connected to other supports.
