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.
Unleash your child’s potential with mentorship and leadership development resources for the entire family.
We believe parents are the first educators of their children. And in order for children to succeed, parents must be engaged and supported.
KidWorks Parent Advisory Council (PAC) is a highly active group of parent leaders who meet monthly to discuss issues facing the community, and devise strategies to overcome those challenges. They also speak into KidWorks programs, plan events for parents in the community, including Posada and our parents conference.
Education is a lifelong endeavor. KidWorks offers a variety of classes and workshops led by experts in the field in the areas of child development, health, finance and technology to provide further education for parents.
KidWorks staff provide referrals and resources to support parents and family members.
Using the strengths of central Santa Ana, parents work alongside community partners to make the neighborhoods surrounding KidWorks a better place.
“I cannot imagine my life without KidWorks, this organization is truly a blessing from God. I am very proud to represent KidWorks wherever I go.”
Dominga S., KidWorks parent
