Amachi Texas is a joint initiative between the Office of the Governor, the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, the Texas Workforce Commission, OneStar Foundation, and Big Brothers Big Sisters of Texas. The United Methodist Men have joined in partnership with Big Brothers Big Sisters. For more information see the Amachi website.
