Community Impact
Juvenile crime in the United States has reached epidemic proportions. Nearly three million crimes are committed each year by kids under the age of 18, and when a teenager is jailed just once, their odds of reoffending are 75%.
AMIkids Miami-Dade takes a long-term, sustainable approach to assist our community's youth to discover their potential and obtain the tools to succeed. Studies have shown that diverting one high-risk teenager from a life of crime could potentially save society $2.6 to $5.3 million, breaking the cycle of crime.
At AMIkids Miami-Dade, our kids, who have not been successful in previous education attempts, have experienced grade level increases in a variety of subjects.
Giving Back
AMIkids Miami-Dade also places a priority on giving back to the community through impactful service. This benefits the community and teaches our kids the importance of giving back and helping others. Our kids are often involved with projects like helping at the Miami Sea Aquarium and Virginia Key Beach.
