DOES AME WORK?
Yes! A discipleship-based concept of education has been proven throughout history to be one of the very best ways to educate young people for work, life, and eternity. Since AME launched in 2007, we’ve already seen success in young people and families who are being mentored and disciplined for careers and business opportunities.
I HAVE A BUSINESS OR I AM INTERESTED IN STARTING MY OWN. HOW DO I BEGIN?
Just complete the Apprentice Application and be specific about your desire to be mentored in furthering or beginning your business. Then, check the Mentor Database for entries from businessmen who have offered to assist with mentoring someone who has a business or is interested in getting started in business. Contact those individuals and begin the conversation. Check back often to catch new database updates.
I AM IN COLLEGE. CAN I STILL BE A PART OF AME?
Absolutely! Mentorship can happen concurrently with college studies, and has for decades in fields such as law, medicine, and politics. With some students, mentorship will provide all the training a young person needs to be prepared; with others, a college degree may be necessary. Either way, a real-life mentorship should be considered a critical component of your higher education.
WILL MY CONTACT INFORMATION BE PUBLICLY PUBLISHED?
No. The AME Network is password-protected and not available to the general public. To respect the privacy and safety of prospective apprentices, we won’t publish an apprentice’s address or phone number in our general AME Network.
WHO IS BEHIND AME?
AME is founded and run by Christian Home Educators of Colorado (CHEC). For several decades, CHEC has helped homeschool families teach and train their children during the K-12 years. Now, CHEC is taking one more step and helping these families continue the training and discipleship beyond the high school years.
