Dear Amigos,
Since 1991, Amigos For Kids has been a results-driven nonprofit advancing prevention, stability, and long-term opportunity for children and families in some of the most economically challenged communities across South Florida.
For 35 years, we have strengthened family outcomes through early engagement, education, and practical support. Our work is designed to reach them before challenges escalate, delivering programs that are measurable, accountable, and responsive to real community needs.
Our organization has been recognized for both effectiveness and stewardship, including being named Program of the Year by The Children’s Trust, one of our principal funding partners, in recognition of trusted leadership and proven impact. Our mission is powered by a high-performing board, dedicated staff, committed volunteers, and mission-aligned corporate and philanthropic partners who believe that prevention works and that early investment delivers lasting returns for children, families, and communities.
Thank you for investing in brighter futures for those we have the privilege to serve.
Jorge A. Plasencia
Co-Founder & Chairman Emeritus
Back to School is one of the longest-running free school supply initiatives in our community and dramatically reduces the financial burden on parents, as well as teachers, who often reach into their own pockets to pay for school supplies for their students.
Every April, we come together to protect and empower children across South Florida. Learn how you can make a difference.
For 35 years, we’ve been empowering children and building stronger families and communities.
We are only just beginning, and with your help, we can continue making an impact for many years to come.
