They also have onsite facilities for housing support, counseling, and educational opportunities. A great organization supporting so many in our community.

Be sure to complete the readings and homework before each session so that you are prepared and can get the most out of the training. The trainers are wonderful and knowledgable, and every session was jam-packed with valuable lessons, shared experiences, conversation, and role-playing! The training is very hands-on and my colleagues and I really grew and progressed with our own skills by the end of training. I'm really grateful that I decided to attend this class, and I can't wait to start volunteering with them soon!

Through a school project on child development, I initially found out about this nonprofit…read moreorganization. After getting pregnant, I enrolled in their classes, which were helpful before giving birth. During my postpartum period, I attended "Mommy and Me" and "Family and Me" classes. In "Mommy and Me," I had Ms. Lety, who welcomed me warmly everyday in her class. With her experience and education, she listened to and understood us new mom. Since her class was full, I took a class with Ms. Gaby instead. Unfortunately, it was unpleasant. I felt like she tried too hard to be liked and understand our perspective, but judged me harshly instead. Her vibe seemed off, like she was hiding her true self. I wouldn't recommend her class. Not to mention, other moms also felt the same way towards Ms. Gaby, that they also mention they dropped or stopped going to her class. I thought it was just me. However, Larissa's visits were helpful throughout my motherhood journey. I'm grateful for her hard work over the past two years. She's the best, and my daughter loves her.

For the past three years that my son has attended Boys & Girls Club Tustin, we have had nothing but…read moregood experiences with the program. Our son had a great time in the Little Rascals program as a Kindergartener and continues to express how much he enjoys coming to the Club. He has so many opportunities to engage in different activities, learn new skills and sports, and play with friends. Although some of the program rooms are smaller, there seems to be an adequate variety of options the kids have to chose from to participate in. Our son always comes home telling us about new things he's had the opportunity to do. I will be honest that I had concerns at first regarding my child's safety, as it is not considered a child care center, but rather, an after-school enrichment program (so there are not strict sign-in/ sign-out policies). However, since enrolling, we have had no concerns with safety. The staffing is pretty consistent and therefore becomes very familiar with each child and their needs. We also have continuing conversations with our son regarding safety. Overall, we have been very satisfied with our experience at the Boys and Girls Club Tustin. It is enjoyable for the kids and it is an affordable option for working families.

Spent time to fix the flat tire for which I had taken my bike to the shop; but also fixed the gears and adjusted them. 3. Alex, an Asian-American gentleman who speaks Spanish. He was the shift manager. May the Bicycle Tree continue to prosper and attract good customers, such as Russell. And may good and decent folks, such as Gene, continue to volunteer there. I will be there for sure in the future.

It's tucked away in a residential neighborhood next to a school. The center features outdoor areas, indoor event spaces and meeting rooms. The center hosts a food and diaper distribution program a couple times a month for the community in partnership with local non-profits like Second Harvest food bank and Community Action Partnership. There are also youth and senior programs offered here. What makes the Delhi Center 5 stars for me now is the addition of the new City of Santa Ana Library they opened on site! I stopped in last month while I was there for a work event to get a Santa Ana library card. Any California resident can get a card.

The Frida Cinema is situated in the heart of Downtown Santa Ana, and fits right into the cultural district. We were greeted by a very friendly worker, who later came into the theater to announce our movie. We watched Little Women, one of the two movies playing for the day. I had a great time! They play many classics, horrors, and diverse films that are selected. Other movies currently playing include Gremlins and How the Grinch Stole Christmas. You can go on their website and check out their movies. I would definitely go back and catch a movie again at The Frida Cinema. You can also rent the venue for film screenings, birthday parties, etc.

A lot of them are one day only special showings and some are played a couple days, so definitely follow their socials to see what's going to be showing next. They also have their own film club that you can join with discounts and benefits too. They also have their own merchandise too and participate in a lot of local community events, which is always neat. Love to see that. Concessions are also affordable, unlike at large chain theaters. Huge plus. I came back here again recently to watch the Bang Dream! 10th Anniversary concert showing. Lots of cosplayers, wota doing wotagei (Google it, you won't be disappointed) during the showing (testament to how chill welcoming this theater is), and we did a group photo at the end together and there was a merch gathering in front. Absolute W. Since it is a smaller theater, the restrooms can get super busy with lots of people there for a singular event, so keep this in mind if you have to time your restroom breaks best on intermission etc. My only qualm, though might makes sense based on context, but the seats were super uncomfortable (though I was sitting for 5 hours for a very extended showing) and my lower back and butt muscles were cooked. Maybe bring a cushion or something for the next visit.
