HELPING OUR YOUTH THRIVE

​We provide enrichment activities, mentoring, and annual events to at-promise youth in Los Angeles and Orange Counties.

HOW KIDS SPEND THEIR TIME IS IMPORTANT

We realized the youth in our community needed more positive outlets, so we made it our mission to be part of the solution.

CST is made up of people from the very community we serve, so it gives us first hand insight into exactly what our kids need. We’re helping shape a better tomorrow by offering resources, positive influences, and specially catered activities to the youth in our community.

At CST, we believe physical health is just as vital as mental well-being. That’s why we offer activities that keep our youth moving, from sports to interactive events. We know that staying active is key to helping them thrive!

ACADEMIC SUPPORT

We understand the importance of academic support for our community's youth. To help them succeed, we provide tutoring and homework assistance, using proven strategies to support their academic growth and goals.

As youth grow, they face more choices and challenges. We empower them through enrichment activities like arts and crafts, teen book clubs, and field trips, enhancing their lives beyond the classroom.

NOT YOUR AVERAGE AFTER-SCHOOL PROGRAM

The “CST effect” is all about the way youth leave our organization. With every event, activity, and encounter at CST, we let our youth know we’re here for them.

 

Our organization is about more than activities. We’re here to mentor and add value to children’s futures. When youth enter any new chapter of their lives, we want them to have a positive effect on the people they encounter.

UPCOMING EVENTS

Children Striving Together board members put their hands together to show their dedication to working together to help the youth of Los Angeles and Orange Counties thrive.
I LOVE THAT THEY ARE SINCERELY THERE FOR THE KIDS. IT’S NOT FAKE - CHRISTI AND HER CREW CARE ABOUT BRINGING PROGRAMS THAT WILL IMPACT OUR YOUTH.
