Who Should Attend<br />
The Amachi Training Institute welcomes any<br />
representative from a local organization that mentors<br />
children <strong>of</strong> incarcerated parents, including<br />
organizations with public or private funding and paid or<br />
volunteer staff. The training is most beneficial for<br />
representatives who are responsible for planning the<br />
development <strong>of</strong> an Amachi--modeled program in their<br />
community; recruiting religious leaders, volunteers,<br />
and children for the program; or monitoring and<br />
evaluating the program.<br />
Past Attendees<br />
The Amachi Training Institute has helped more than<br />
800 organizations in 47 states develop mentoring<br />
children <strong>of</strong> prisoners programs and is a useful<br />
resource for many agencies. Here’s what attendees<br />
have said about the Institute.<br />
“This (training) was very informative. I had a great time hearing from Rev. Dr. Goode. I<br />
will go back to North Texas and set the standard for what true mentoring through Amachi<br />
is all about.”<br />
“This training has been very helpful. We have a new program in Baltimore and this has<br />
helped me to get back on track. It has given me renewed strength to go forth and<br />
concentrate on getting one mentor for one child for one hour once a week.”<br />
