So many ways to get started
AmachiHaving a mom or dad in prison can make growing up more difficult.
Children with an incarcerated parent often need additional support and guidance. Big Brothers Big Sisters' Amachi program helps broaden their perspectives on what they can achieve in life.
Amachi, a Nigerian word of hope from the Ibo people, means "who knows but what God has brought us through this child." Our Amachi program connects children with friends from all walks of life, but particularly those from local religious organizations. Many congregations support the work of the agency's program.
