A nonprofit fundraiser supporting

Volunteers of America - MN

Friendship is priceless, but we need your support to make it happen!

$1,640

raised by 14 people

$5,000 goal

Did you know it costs over $2,000 to make and support EACH Amicus One to One match? 

Over 53 years we've supported tens of thousands of people making the challenging journey from incarceration to a successful reentry into society. 

Almost 94 percent of participants in our One to One program never go back into prison for committing a new crime. That's compared to a general population success rate of less than 65 percent.  Why are our participants so successful? It's because of their own determination, first of all, but they will almost always tell you that successful reentry is nearly impossible without positive, supportive relationships to keep you going when it inevitably gets tough. 


Please take a look at the video telling the story of Amicus friends Gregory and Kevin. Gregory is overcoming a myriad of barriers to succeed long after many of us would have given up. Kevin is a key reason why Gregory remains hopeful and optimistic.


We need your help to find more "Kevin's" out there. There are always people behind bars who are waiting for a One to One match, With your support we can help them find the right person to walk beside them on this most challenging of journeys.   



Please help by making a tax-deductible donation today.
