Florida State Senator Don Gaetz recognized AMIkids PCMI for their efforts to provide career and technical training for teens, especially at-risk teens struggling to complete a high school education. Many of the current programs funded and supported are designed for students who are at or above grade level and are able to dedicate as much as two years to a course of study. Our students often come from struggling families and they are often years behind their grade level. They require a unique and different approach to gaining the necessary skills to be a self-sufficient adult and they need the extra support.
