Home & Garden Floral Park was the place to be on April 26 and 27, as the Rotary Club of Santa Ana brought the spirit of community to life at our booth!
Our enthusiastic members connected with visitors, sharing insights about our exciting service projects and fundraising efforts for scholarships.
We highlighted the incredible impact of our Interact Clubs and the enriching experiences available at RYLA camp.
It was a wonderful opportunity to showcase the meaningful connections and values that come with being a proud member of Rotary.
Thank you to everyone who stopped by – we loved sharing our passion with you!

The Boys & Girls Clubs of Central Orange Coast provides a positive, healthy learning environment for children, and it’s what the Santa Ana location has done locally since 1941. With each year that passes, their Club curriculum takes progressively longer strides toward strengthening the academic aptitude, physical fitness, health awareness, and career ambitions of its members, preparing them to graduate high school with a plan for their futures.
Today, the youth of Central Orange Coast are growing up with extraordinary opportunities, some of which also present uncharted risks. With more than 200,000 youth under the age of 18 within our reach in the Central Orange Coast region, we are called to do everything we can to help as many as possible reach greatness.

Monthly we conduct Virtual Mock Interviews where volunteers help young adults practice their interviewing skills and build confidence in their job search. Mock interviews allow volunteers to help trainees prepare for their future careers. By participating, volunteers provide invaluable feedback and support that can significantly enhance their interview skills and career readiness. On average we need approximately 25 volunteers per session. We are currently recruiting for the following dates for Virtual Mock Interviews:
Virtual mock interviews are conducted over Zoom. We begin with Hope Builders staff conducting a brief orientation with volunteers. Volunteers are then assigned to individual breakout rooms with trainees for mock interviews. Each interview lasts 20 minutes and volunteers will interview 3 trainees. (Sample questions are provided) We kindly ask that we receive RSVP's 1 week prior to each session.
