Services to the Professional Community & Professional Training
 The Ametz Training Institute for Professionals
The Ametz Adoption Program/JCCA has provided domestic and international private adoption services for more than 28 years. As part of this work, there is an emphasis on meeting the needs of clients in the communities in which they live. To do so effectively, Ametz strongly believes an educated professional community is necessary. Drawing on the best adoption minds in the New York area, we proudly present the Institute’s 9th year offerings geared for those working with adoptive families and families-to-be. Each session includes a didactic presentation and time for interactive discussion. Meetings are held in person and via webinar/live streaming from The Conference Center, 130 East 59th Street, New York City.
