WINGS, which stands for Women Investing in Graduate Success, is KidWorks’ auxiliary group founded in 2012.

Stephanie Bernardy, Michele Mullen and a group of close friends decided one day to give their book club a new deeper meaning: help at-risk children say no to gang life and create dreams through education.

Stephanie’s inspiration to support KidWorks began by witnessing her daughter’s passion and inspiration as a soccer coach for KidWorks children, when she was just a sophomore at Mater Dei high school. As a longtime volunteer, Michele’s inspiration was seeing children’s lives being transformed at KidWorks every day.

WINGS members believe that all children deserve the opportunity to reach their optimum potentials.
