 KidWorks, founded in 1993 by Larry and Jayme Acosta, began in a tiny, one-room apartment on Townsend Street as a summer safe haven for children and youth.   

Today, KidWorks operates four community centers in at-risk neighborhoods of central Santa Ana. Over 1,000 children, youth, and parents participate in our weekly programs and over 4,000 community members are served annually. KidWorks has grown into a vibrant non-profit that serves central Santa Ana students and families through a fully licensed preschool, after-school programs, tutoring, mentoring, and adult services in the areas of health, parenting classes, and support groups. In partnership with our valued supporters and volunteers, we are guiding children and youth towards positive life choices and redirecting their path towards college and career success.
