Children of Incarcerated Parents

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