Santa Ana has one of the largest youth populations in California. For decades, it has also been “park poor.”
That means that children, youth and families in the city had very limited community recreation areas, green spaces, bike lanes or skate parks.
Nearly 31% of the population of Santa Ana is under 18-years-old, making it one the youngest cities in the U.S.
Beginning in 2016, a group of KidWorks youth set out to change all that.
Thank you for your interest in making an impact in the lives of youth in Santa Ana.
