Amigos For Kids Careers in Miami, FL

In 1991, a few friends who had been volunteering at various child welfare organizations were asked by the Children’s Home Society (CHS) to volunteer for an auxiliary group to help the organization rally support for its mission from the burgeoning Hispanic community in South Florida. The group was named Amigos of CHS and was co-founded by Jorge A. Plasencia. A year later the group became an independent organization which they named Amigos Together For Kids and was later renamed Amigos For Kids. What began as a passion project for a group of friends has evolved into a mainstream nonprofit, and our child abuse prevention message now reaches communities across the country – no matter their ethnicity or native language.
