EMPOWERING YOUNG PEOPLE TO BELIEVE
I CAN
We believe in the power of transformation – every young person has the potential for greatness, and we’re on a mission to unlock it.
Our purpose is clear: We empower young people to discover their true potential. For more than 55 years, AMIkids has empowered over 160,000 young people across the country by guiding young minds and fostering confidence and a belief in success. With an impressive 80% of youth successfully completing programming, our holistic approach to serving youth combines education, workforce development, treatment, and behavior and skills training.
Youth discover their potential every day at AMIkids

The AMIkids Difference
What sets us apart? Experiential education.
We believe adventure opens doors.
Through unique adventures, we expose young people to new and exciting opportunities that allow them to grow self-confidence and develop leadership skills.
We empower young people to believe in themselves and believe success is possible.
They don’t give up, so we don’t give up. We stick with them. We foster relationships, care, and provide a sense of family. And we provide structure. The AMIkids Personal Growth Model is a proven success, tying together education and workforce development, treatment, and behavior and skills training.
