Our Story

EMPOWERING YOUNG PEOPLE TO DISCOVER THEIR TRUE POTENTIAL

At AMIkids Georgetown, we are committed to empowering young people to see their potential, believe in themselves, and move forward with purpose. We do not give up on them, so we stick with them. We build real relationships, create a sense of family, and provide the structure and support they need to grow.

Along the way, young people begin to recognize their strengths, build confidence, and take meaningful steps forward. Our Personal Growth Model brings it all together. Education and workforce development, treatment, and behavior and skills training all work together so each young person is supported as a whole person. Through consistent guidance and individualized care, we help young people discover what is possible for their future and move forward with purpose, creating lasting impact not only in their lives, but across the Georgetown community.
