What an incredible experience participating in last week's Mock Interview Day at Bridge to Success High, hosted by AMIkids #Duval! A huge thank you to my mentors, who have shaped my journey and reminded me of the power of lifting others up. I’m truly honored to be a part of such a remarkable organization, and it was inspiring to help empower the future leaders of our community. A special thanks to our Executive Director, Elizabeth H., for all your hard work and putting this event together. We could not have done this without you! Another thanks to Linda Carrion for taking time to join us and share all your wisdom! These young adults have so much potential, and I have no doubt they’ll do amazing things in the future! #Mentorship #CommunityImpact #FutureLeaders #GivingBack #AMIkidsDuval #AMIkidsJacksonville

Witnessing the Power of "I Can" in Action! During our 2025 Winter Challenge, AMIkids participants dove into a virtual Capture the Flag event, thanks to the incredible support of EC-Council. This introduction to cybersecurity challenged them to collaborate and problem-solve, and they soared! We're thrilled to announce the top three teams earned EC-Council scholarships, opening doors to future careers in this vital field. This is more than a game; it's empowerment.
