75 Mentors in 75 Days

January 19 - March 2, 2012

January is National Mentoring Month and Knoxville Leadership Foundation’s Amachi Knoxville mentoring program is kicking off our 75/75 Campaign on January 19th.

The 75/75 Campaign will focus on recruiting 75 mentors in 75 days!  Leading up to the Christmas holiday our waiting list of mentees grows due to a partnership with Prison Fellowship’s Angel Tree program.  During January, we rely on various events, media highlights, churches and community/business partners to engage the Knoxville community and recruit caring adults to mentor these wonderful kids.

Amachi is a Nigerian word that means, “Who knows but what God has brought us through this child.”  Amachi Knoxville provides mentoring services to a very special group of Knoxville’s children—those with a parent currently incarcerated in state or federal prison.  We seek to assist these children in achieving their highest potential by engaging them in consistent and committed mentoring relationships.
