Unlocking potential. Nurturing bonds.

Many of the world's most successful people have benefited from having a mentor. For a child with one or both parents incarcerated, the commitment and support of a mentor is beyond measure — socially, emotionally, and academically.

Mentee Requirements

  • Has an incarcerated family member (current or former)
  • Is between 6 and 18 years old
  • Resides in Allegheny County, PA
  • Completes an intake screening, communicates regularly with Amachi staff, and follows all program policies
