AMIkids YES (Youth Education Success) is a specialized educational program located in Wimauma, Florida, operating in partnership with the Hillsborough County Public Schools district. Unlike traditional high schools, AMIkids YES is designed to serve at-risk youth by providing a structured, supportive environment that focuses on both academic achievement and personal development. The program aims to re-engage students who may have struggled in conventional school settings, offering them a second chance to earn their diploma and build a foundation for a successful future.
