Building Dreams VIP Donor Reception

Last night was a beautiful evening to celebrate the building of many dreams to come. We celebrated our Building Dreams Capital Campaign VIP Donors in the home of Steve Craig in Newport Coast. This group of individuals has been especially generous and faithful. We were thrilled to celebrate these very special people and continue to celebrate the dreams to come for both our students and our families. 

Here are some photos from our event. If you have questions, or would like more information about our Building Dreams Capital Campaign, please Click Here. 

Helping Students Live Outside of their Comfort Zones

Campus Crash is hosted every spring break; We visit college campus. All KidWorks high school students are invited. We learn about what it takes to get to college, what it’s like living on campus, among other things.

This year, 26 of our youth participated. We visited Cal State San Bernardino, California Baptist University, Cal State Los Angeles, and East Los Angeles Community College. We also got the special treat of visiting the Santa Ana Police Department.

It’s important for the youth to learn about different college systems and to visit different campuses so they get a better idea of what they want in a college campus.

Because of trips like these, students chose to apply to colleges out of their comfort zone.

For some seniors, it is their “make or break” deal; they get to visit a campus where they’ve been accepted.
