                          Monday, June 3, 2024

  Mr. CORREA. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to commemorate the 30th 
anniversary of Kid Works, a community-driven nonprofit organization 
that continuously empowers youth in the City of Santa Ana.
  KidWorks' mission is to inspire purpose in youth, fuel their growth, 
and help youth be leaders in their communities. KidWorks is determined 
to unleash youth potential in overlooked neighborhoods through 
mentoring, leadership opportunities, and academic enrichment.
  Since its establishment in 1993, KidWorks has been a trailblazer in 
nurturing under-resourced youth by establishing the Dan Donahue Center 
along with a fully licensed preschool, after-school programs, college 
preparation programs and adult health and parenting services, 
exemplifying the potential of individuals from within communities to 
advocate for youth leadership.
  Today, leadership empowerment expands at the heart of KidWorks, where 
youth are supported through mentoring, personal development, leadership 
development, and college and career readiness.
  I ask my colleagues to join me in celebrating the 30th anniversary of 
KidWorks.
