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.
More than academics, KidWorks after-school programs focus on whole-person development; providing a safe space for learning, personal growth and leadership development.
Our Distinctives
All learning takes place in a safe, fun and high quality program that fits the needs of both you and your child.
When a child believes in themself, a world of possibilities unfolds. Students develop the character, confidence and tools to reach one’s God-given potential.
Relationally Based
Life transformation happens in relationship. Students develop safe bonds with staff, mentors and volunteers.
Leadership Driven
Every child is a leader. Using Franklin Covey’s Leader in Me Curriculum, students develop the knowledge, compassion, and skills to discover their personal leadership strengths and in turn give back to the community.
Academic & Personal Enrichment
Homework help and individualized tutoring ensure students stay on track academically. KidWorks workshops and field trips enable students to discover their own passions and talents in the fields of art, dance, sports, STEM and more!
