WHAT WE DO
Member
Businesses
We exist as a Ridgecrest nonprofit for the purpose of engaging local children in mentoring events which provide unique opportunities that some children do not receive.
We also partner with other nonprofits by helping fund their children's programs, as well as provide scholarships for local school and church youth, to take trips or pay for program needs, such as sporting equipment.
RidgecrestKids.com also partners with local law enforcement and first responders to provide positive environments for children to interact with them.
