“Energetic kids flourish at AMAFA! Clancy (at 6) and Genevieve (at 3) joined

six years ago, and both are becoming leaders—gaining confidence, mentorship skills,

and body awareness. With AMAFA’s focus on respect for community and others,

my children are growing into well-rounded individuals." — Jeanine Evains-Robinson, EdD
