Research shows that 70 percent of children of incarcerated parents will themselves at some point be incarcerated - unless they have positive adult intervention. That is why mentoring children of prisoners is a key component of Big Brothers Big Sisters' goal to reach more kids, especially those who may face significant risk factors.

Amachi, a West African word that means "who knows but what God has brought us through this child," is the name of an initiative that connects children of prisoners with mentors recruited through local religious congregations.

It is a commitment of Indy Metro to love and mentor the children of our community. Join us in this commitment!
