Our Services
We’re here to help, whether you’re a member of the public or Amish.
What We Do
Education
We help Amish refugees become documented and attain a higher education, including filling the gap between Amish 8th grade and high school, vocational skills, and college.
We raise awareness about why Wisconsin v. Yoder needs to be overturned
Cultural & Linguistic Competency
We train social workers and law enforcement on Amish cultural competency.
Internships
We educate a new generation of educators, lawyers, social workers, and health professionals on how to serve this underserved at-risk minority population.
Since 1972
The United States Supreme Court decided in Wisconsin v. Yoder that Amish children do not have the right to any future other than one inside the Amish Church.
What People We Help Say
Your generous donations help us help more women and children.
"The Amish Heritage Foundation has provided me with life-changing emotional support, influence and guidance. I don’t feel so alone anymore."
"When I escaped, I didn't even know if I had a birth certificate. The Amish Heritage Foundation helped me get documented right away, so I could get a job and be recognized as an American citizen."
"If it weren't for The Amish Heritage Foundation and their dedicated staff, we would never have been able to stand up to the abuse inside our church. We would have just given up."
