University of Pittsburgh community partner — volunteer with Amachi Pittsburgh. Amachi Pittsburgh matches vulnerable children (ages 6-18) who have been affected by a family member being incarcerated, with caring mentors who offer guidance, encouragement and enrichment in order to help develop self-esteem, new perspective and positive relationships. Amachi’s goal is to provide children with the benefits of mentorship including exposure to educational and cultural opportunities, healthy social interaction and increased self-assurance.
