AMIkids Duval

Welcome to the F(AMI)ly Thaddeus Bullard! 😊

We’re proud to announce that Thaddeus Bullard—former Arena Football player turned WWE legend and WWE Hall of Famer, known worldwide as Titus O’Neil—is joining AMIkids as our National Spokesperson, helping amplify our mission to empower young people to discover their full potential.

“I know what it feels like to be counted out. But when someone takes the time to believe in you and invest in your future, it can change everything,” Thaddeus shares.

Like many of the youth we serve, Thaddeus grew up facing obstacles that could have defined his future. What made the difference? Mentors, teachers, and community members who stepped in, invested their time, and believed in him when he needed it most.

Welcome to the AMIkids family, Thaddeus. Together, we’re helping more young people believe “I CAN.” 💙 Learn more about how you can get involved: https://amikids.org

At AMIkids Duval, we believe students learn best through hands-on practice. Our goal is to ensure that every student is fully prepared to apply the certifications they earn in real-world settings.

Check out our students participating in a culinary lesson connected to their ServSafe Food Handler Certification!

Our students proudly represented our Workforce Development Program at the DCPS 2026 Job Fair!

They put their interviewing skills and Dress for Success training into action, demonstrating professionalism, confidence, and preparation as they connected with potential employers!

We are now enrolling for our Westside location! Classes begin March 16th! Contact (904) 463-2811 for more information.

Community service isn’t just about giving back, it’s about our students learning the true power of impact, purpose, and uplifting the community that uplifts them.

Huge thanks to Construction Ready for their generous donation! Because of their support, our students at AMIkids Duval now have the opportunity to get hands-on experience with tools while learning tool safety and building familiarity all right in their classroom.

AMIkids Duval recently visited Tallahassee for our annual AMIkids Legislative Day. During the trip, students toured the Capitol, connected with state lawmakers, and gained valuable insight into how the legislative process unfolds.

We’re grateful to the legislators who took the time to speak with our students and to our board members who joined us in making this an impactful experience.

Please join me in welcoming Ms. Brionna Benjamin as the new Executive Director of AMIkids Duval!

Ms. Benjamin has dedicated the past several years to AMIkids Duval, serving as Lead Teacher across both our Alternative School and Workforce Development models. Her deep experience and passion for our mission make her the perfect leader to continue guiding our program forward and empowering the young people we serve.
