AMPED is an amazing community partner! They come in to the local detention center for youth and provide workshops and curriculum. The kids love their programming and see the benefits. We also have realized what valuable partner they are outside our building because our youth initiate connections to the AMPED program once they are released!
We couldn't ask for a better partner to serve our city's most vulnerable youth.
As a board, I'm encouraged and excited by the impact AMPED is making on the behavior and grades of these middle and high school children. They get to hone their talents with nurturing teachers while building important bonds with one another. Some of the children are even taking these skills to the next level and start businesses. AMPED continues and will continue to create value in the Louisville community.
I was blessed to have the opportunity of watching Amped grow into this beautiful non profit that it is today. You know a program is doing what it is supposed to when the kids just hang around, it is their safe place. You know a program is doing what it is supposed to when the parents don't just drop off their kids, they hang around. Now, not only is it a safe place, it is a place for our community to grow and be great together. I believe in the foundation of this mission, I believe in its greats works of AMPED. ANY kid that steps through these door is greeted with the opportunity to be undeniably SUCCESSFUL!
