Our world is changing. Every day we are confronted with stories about growing intolerance, bigotry, bullying and violence. Because of this, CMH’s mission of teaching children empathy has never been more important.

When children grow into adults without a sense of empathy, it impacts everyone. We are all affected by living in a world where we lack the ability to understand and care about the experience of another human being.

Through the Jordan Downs Center in Watts, our educational programs, community outreach, donations, and continued awareness, we are able to focus on the physical and emotional needs of children. By targeting their specific needs, we are empowering them and helping them build the courage and confidence they need to keep that precious light burning within.

One of our goals as an organization is to engage our students in causes where they can positively impact the life of another child and ultimately realize their potential to effect change both in their own community and around the world. Our programs, while wonderful, informative, and fun, require funding to keep running. Help us instill kindness and empathy in the students we serve, and help them pass that along to other children in their community.
