Amicus is Latin for "friend" and for over 46 years we have helped to transform lives and strengthen communities. Our One to One program at the Hennepin County Workhouse matches trained community members with motivated inmates for friendship and positive relationship building. Volunteers commit to visiting, writing, and forming a friendship with their One to One match for a minimum of one year. Volunteers and participants are matched by gender and by similar interests or life-experiences. The program is safe, relationship-based and meant to support, respect, and empower the whole person
