Orange County Community Center Needs Assessment - Survey 1

In December 2023, a 15-person committee came together to discuss a challenge that each individual is extremely passionate about – the youth in Orange County. This committee is made up of representatives from local schools, churches, and healthcare institutions. Over the last decade, various organizations have completed several data-driven studies and community surveys that all point to one thing – Orange County needs to pay special attention to its youth. Children, especially 6th-12th grade, are facing difficult circumstances at home. This situation is compounded by the limited availability of resources, facilities, and after-school programs for this age group.

For this reason, Orange County is conducting a Needs Assessment to evaluate the county’s need and desire for a county-wide community facility that could offer a broad range of new programs.
