Today, AMP represents over 10 different programs, each with its own structure, mission, and capacity.  Around 400 mentees are supported each year through the work of AMP.  Partners include  the Virginia Mentoring Partnership, the City of Alexandria, local businesses, community leaders, and others. AMP works to provide a quality mentor to every child in Alexandria who needs one and to expand the scope of mentoring in Alexandria by assisting with program development, capacity building, community partnerships, and program support through mentor recruitment, screening, and training.
