WHY AMIKIDS?

What it’s like to work at AMIkids

Here’s what team members across the country have to say about why they enjoy working at AMIkids.

AMIkids believes in professional growth within their own ranks, and they invest in us as team members.

It feels like home here. AMIkids creates a family-oriented environment that is very welcoming and supportive.

I feel like the kids and staff here are part of my family. It’s so much more than a job, it’s something I really enjoy doing.

It’s tremendously rewarding to be able to be a part of seeing these young people make changes in their lives and pursue a successful future.

I couldn’t ask to work for a better organization. I’ve been here for almost 20 years and it’s rewarding to help make a difference in a young person’s life.

When I wake up in the morning, I know my work is making a difference in the lives of young people. Everyone here is interested in the social mission of helping these kids thrive in ways beyond just the classroom.

At AMIkids, we believe in creating transformative experiences that extend beyond the traditional boundaries of education and mentorship. Our Challenge Events represent a distinctive facet of our commitment to empowering young individuals.

The Summer Challenge, Winter Challenge, Presidential Dive Challenge, and White Water Rafting & Rappelling Challenge are not just annual traditions; they are catalysts for personal growth and lasting impact. For our students, these events transcend the familiar, opening doors to new experiences that can be truly life changing. These journeys foster character development, nurture leadership skills, and forge bonds that last a lifetime.
