Executive Director

Greetings! My name is Rickie Hardy Jr. and I am the Executive Director of AMIkids Piedmont. It is my pleasure to welcome you to the official AMIkids Piedmont website. AMIkids Piedmont is a wonderful place where old fashioned values, the Personal Growth Model, AMIkids Way, and a caring,  hard working, and diverse staff of professionals come together to face modern day delinquency head on while transforming the lives of the young men who encounter our program. We are nestled in a wilderness setting on the outskirts of the historic city of Clinton and serve young males between the ages of 14-18 from all over the great state of South Carolina. It is my belief that we are truly blessed to be given the opportunity to change lives and be true to our motto, “Separating a Troubled Past from a Bright Future”. I am living testimony that with a nurturing environment, loving guidance, and structure every child has an opportunity to change their path and become a productive citizen. As you navigate these pages we hope that an image of lasting change is embedded in your mind and heart, the same as it is in the young men who successfully complete our program. If you would like to know more about us once you are done please feel free to do so by calling us at (864) - 833-4505 or email me pwi-ed@amikids.org. Thank you again for your interest in our unique and effective program.

Sincerely,

Rickie Hardy Jr.
