Amigos Strengthens Families & Communities/Nurturing Parenting Program
Amigos Strengthens Families and Communities is a community-based, culturally and linguistically appropriate program for parents/caregivers of children birth to eleven years old with the ultimate outcome of preventing the occurrence/recurrence of child abuse/neglect. The goals are to strengthen families by providing relevant, effective education and support to encourage an optimal environment for the healthy growth and development of the family. Amigos provides a comprehensive continuum of services, beginning with parenting groups that utilize the Nurturing Parent Program Nurturing Skills for Families EBP curriculum. The curriculum allows flexibility in meeting the specific parenting needs using a proven evidenced based parenting program. Through the Nurturing Skills for Families, parents learn ways to encourage their children’s success through communication, role playing, and life skills. Important core values of the program include empathy, parental self care and alternative discipline methods resulting in successful parenting. Children learn comparable skills at age-appropriate levels through a variety of activities. The program operates year-round at approximately 20 sites, and services are provided either in English or Spanish. The program serves the entire Miami-Dade County with emphasis on the Hispanic/Latino population. Nutritous, culturally appropriate meals are provided for the families at each session so that the family can reinforce the learning of the session.
Amigos After School Program
José Martí Park After-School Program
The Amigos for Kids After School Program is a high quality after school program that provides a safe and enriching environment for elementary school-aged children ages 6-12 (grades K-5), including children with disabilities, residing in Miami-Dade County, and living in low socio-economic areas. This program is designed to engage students daily (Monday-Friday) throughout the school year. The scheduled activities engage all participants and result in increased academic outcomes by focusing on the core components of literacy and life skills, engagement of families, homework assistance, social-emotional learning, and physical fitness and nutrition. The Amigos for Kids After School Program offers students a unique academic opportunity that supports literacy, is inclusive of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math); provides opportunities for sports, fitness and recreation activities; promotes social-emotional learning and civic engagement; and provides culturally enriching field trips related to the program design.
The program is currently funded by The Children's Trust, Miami-Dade County, and Comcast.
Amigos Blue Ribbon Campaign
Amigos For Kids® Blue Ribbon Campaign
April is National Child Abuse Prevention Month and Amigos coordinates activities during that month through South Florida. Since April 2004, Amigos has spearheaded efforts in cooperation with Miami-Dade County Public Schools, Miami-Dade County Commissioner Rebeca Sosa, the mayors of the City of Miami, Coral Gables and Miami-Dade County and other local community leaders and organizations to provide an informative series of events. Its purpose is to create awareness about child abuse through education and community involvement and promote positive parenting as it relates to the issues of child abuse. Printed materials are available for both parents and children in three different languages: English, Spanish and Creole.
