Operating Principles
We maximize our results by joining with key individuals, volunteers, churches,
businesses, foundations, and agencies in order to best serve the community.
Our Mission and Values
Our mission is to transform challenged neighborhoods in central Santa Ana by building on the strengths and potential in the community through education, character formation, and personal development, while demonstrating God’s love and Christ-like values in all we do and creating an atmosphere that affirms the dignity of every individual.
An 18-Year Commitment
Life Change Occurs In Relationship
KidWorks walks alongside tomorrow’s leaders, equipping them with the academic, personal development and leadership tools needed for college and a bright future.
The outcome is confident, self-reliant young adults who are equipped for the workforce and are motivated to give back. Our alumni are dedicated to serving others.
Our mission is to inspire purpose in youth, fuel their growth, and catalyze their impact in the community.
