What We Offer
COMMUNITY-BASED PROGRAMS
Community-based programs offer daily services to youth and families, with youth returning home each day if programming takes place outside of the home. We offer eight unique services with our community-based programs.
Alternative Education
Alternative Education programs are designed to help students who require additional support typically not available in traditional schools. Students in attendance benefit from academic remediation, positive behavioral skills development, and individualized attention to succeed. AMIkids Alternative Education programs include Infinity Schools, School-within-a-School, and Charter Schools, which operate according to the school district schedule.
Pre-apprenticeship (Career Exploration, Workforce Development)
Pre-apprenticeship programs prepare students aged 16-24 for successful careers, offering industry training that is aligned with each community’s needs for skilled workers. With a combination of academic, technical, and job readiness courses and individualized case management, AMIkids prepares and places students into higher education, jobs, and apprenticeships.
PROGRAM ENHANCEMENTS
Program Enhancement Services may be provided as standalone or supplementary to a program.
Career and Technical Education
Provided in two age-appropriate models:
- The AMIkids Career Exploration Model, for ages 11-15, helps youth build self-awareness, learn about potential careers, and develop a plan for reaching future goals.
- The AMIkids Workforce Development Model, for ages 16-24, utilizes a combination of school-based and work-based learning to help youth learn job readiness skills, earn industry-recognized certifications, and transition to the workforce.
The US Department of Labor funds 75% of the AMIkids Baton Rouge YouthBuild Program, committing $1.5 million in federal funds. The remaining 25% ($375,000) of the project budget is financed by non-governmental sources.
