Our Program

Founded in 1997, AMIkids White Pines is a privately non-profit, staff-secure residential facility in Jonesville, South Carolina, serving the surrounding area. Our program operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week, serving kids who have committed a variety of non-violent offenses and are involved with the South Carolina Department of Juvenile Justice. Our kids living in dormitories on campus in a remote location ideally structured to help them work through their issues and gain the needed skills to return to their families and communities.

In 2015, AMIkids White Pines #2 (originally founded in 1997) re-opened to serve kids who are experiencing relational or behavioral problems and are not able to function successfully in a less restrictive community environment and provide them the additional care and individualized attention needed to transform their lives.

AMIkids White Pines uses the evidence-based, research-driven AMIkids Personal Growth Model © in offering dynamic programs and comprehensive services to treat each kid's unique issues, primarily focusing on education, behavior modification, and treatment.

Since 1997, AMIkids White Pines has helped over 2,000 kids transform their lives and across all of our AMIkids programs nationally, 74% of our kids do not re-offend within the first year of completing our programs.
