About Dade Marine Institute

Dade Marine Institute ­ South Campus is a member of the Associated Marine Institutes. AMI is a non-profit organization established in 1969, to provide rehabilitative services for youthful offenders. DMI is just one of more than fifty residential and non-residential programs committed to helping teenagers make a lasting, positive change in their lives.

The DMI goal is to assist young people in becoming the best person that they can be. We will accomplish this by helping students obtain goals that they will set for themselves while at DMI. These goals will include improving academic performance, making positive changes in attitude and behavior, developing employability skills and plotting a course for a successful future once a student leaves DMI.

The AMI Foundation Fund - Money is available from the Fund to meet any financial needs of individual kids which will help the kids succeed in life. Examples of permissible uses include college tuition, books, lab fees, dormitory expenses, vocational training and supplies, special equipment for an occupation, travel to and from job training, and special medical needs.
