Our Story

EMPOWERING YOUNG PEOPLE TO DISCOVER THEIR TRUE POTENTIAL

AMIkids Farmington provides a safe, supportive home where young men ages 13–18 can build confidence, discover their strengths, and prepare for what comes next. Through a combination of academics, counseling, hands-on learning, career readiness, and daily life experiences, youth have the opportunity to grow, develop new skills, and work toward their personal goals.

Located in Farmington, New Mexico, our 24/7 residential program provides structure, stability, and support from a team that believes in every young man’s potential. With caring staff, positive mentors, and individualized support, youth build meaningful connections while learning skills they can use at home, in school, at work, and beyond.

Most youth spend 6–9 months in the program, giving them time to build confidence, strengthen relationships, and make lasting progress.

What We Offer

A Supportive Environment Designed for Growth

At AMIkids Farmington, we know every young person’s journey is different. That’s why we create individualized plans that focus on each youth’s unique strengths, goals, and needs. Through the AMIkids Personal Growth Model®, a research-informed approach to youth development, we help young men develop the skills, confidence, and mindset needed for success.

Youth have access to:

  • A place that feels like home
    A safe, structured environment with caring staff, personal space, and a community built on respect.
  • Individualized support and counseling
    Individual, group, and family counseling designed to help youth understand themselves, build healthy relationships, and work toward their goals.
  • Opportunities to learn and explore
    From academics and career readiness to recreation, community projects, gardening, basketball, and group activities, every day brings new opportunities to grow.
  • Real-life skills for the future
    Youth develop leadership, communication, decision-making, and career skills that support success long after they leave the program.
  • A team that believes in them
