A few weeks ago, several of our matches spent an evening in the Smokies to check out the synchronous fireflies –a unique phenomenon that takes place once a year! The Sierra Club makes this opportunity possible for us each year, and we’re thankful that our matches get to experience such special opportunities in nature.

Here are our matches made in May. We are so excited to see where their friendships go!

We recently celebrated our match of the year at our banquet last month. This one is extra special because this year’s award honors Amachi’s longest match! Heather and Imani will celebrate 11 years of friendship in just a few days!

That means that Imani met Heather just after her 5th birthday, and now she is celebrating her 16th.

Over the years, they’ve built countless memories and walked through so many life stages side by side. Through it all, Heather has been a constant source of encouragement, showing up as a true cheerleader every step of the way. And the support goes both ways – Imani and her mom have been just as uplifting, consistent, and present for Heather.

This friendship is a beautiful reminder of what lasting connection, commitment, and community can look like. 💫

A few weeks ago, we met with the Knoxville Leadership Foundation’s board and shared a closer look at Amachi’s work. From the relationships between mentors and mentees to the difference being made across our community, it was a special time to share our story 💙

We’re thankful for the ongoing partnership as we continue investing in brighter futures!

We currently have 49 kids on our waitlist. One of them is Michael! He has been waiting for a mentor for eight months. On his perfect day with his mentor, they would go swimming and eat at Chick-fil-A together!

Could you be a match for Michael?

Did you know that boys in our program often wait up to three times longer for a mentor than girls?

We’re always looking for more to help close this gap. Could you or someone you know be a mentor with Amachi?
