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.
People who live outside of Santa Ana often look at Santa Ana students with pitiful eyes. I stand here in front of you to say KidWorks doesn’t give us pity it gives us hope. Hope for the future and hope for life.” These are the powerful words from Isabel Rivas speech at Kidworks Noche de las Estrellas.
