Hello and welcome to our website. I am Mrs. Valjean J. Adams, COO and Co-founder of the African American Mutual Assistance Network, Inc. and the Director of our Clara Fields Multicultural Literacy Program. From our conception, our nonprofit organization was founded to address the needs of African Americans in the community, but quickly evolved to encompass the needs of whoever might be in need. Hopelessness, poverty and illiteracy have no ethnicity preference. People in need, are people in need and we feel compelled to help them. Enjoy your visit and view our Black History Month Kit, AAMAN's Fundraiser Page, See's Candies Fundraiser, our Fundraiser's Network, join our JUNETEENTH Celebration Committee and view our Funding Received.

Our Mission

AAMAN is committed to giving at-risk children of low-income families the resources to realize the possibility of a successful and productive life. We believe the quality of the investment we make in them and their families will help to positively shape their future. These children represent the promise of accomplishing great things and deserve every opportunity to fulfill that promise without restrictions. AAMAN inspires children to learn, adults to teach and communities to move forward together.

River Valley Cross-Cultural Adoption Support Group's
1st Annual Retreat

In continuing our services to assist families with adopted African and African-American children, to interact with each other and encourage cross-cultural sharing,  AAMAN sponsored a Retreat in Rushford, MN on Saturday, July 18, 2009 from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. for friends and families of the children and parents. Check It Out!.

There was lots of food, snacks, hiking, sports, games, and cute farm animals to learn about; thanks to Historian Donna Buckbee participating, sharing, and providing her home and land.

If you would like to participate, please contact AAMAN for complete information and details on all Retreats and Camp AAMAN.

Upcoming Event:

AAMAN's Historian Donna Buckbee is creating a new Event to honor and educate the young and old of Harriet Tubman, known as the "Moses of her people." 

Over the course of 10 years, and at great personal risk, Harriet led hundreds of slaves to freedom along the Underground Railroad, a secret network of safe houses where runaway slaves could stay on their journey north to freedom. She later became a leader in the abolitionist movement, and during the Civil War she was a spy for the federal forces in South Carolina as well as a nurse.

We plan to recognize Harriet Tubman on Match 10 of each year. Harriet Tubman died on March 10, 1913.  If you would like to take part in this venture, please contact AAMAN for meeting schedules.

Please, come and join us in creating a Historical Annual Event!
