About Us
Drew Child Development Corporation (Drew CDC) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to the education and well-being of at-risk children in South Los Angeles, CA. Since 1987, Drew CDC’s community-based programs have provided a variety of essential services to the underserved and culturally diverse families in our community.

How We Help Families
Creating Enriched Environments
We create stimulating environments so that the children in our programs can live and learn in a place where educational experiences are always within reach.
Promoting Holistic Development
It takes a lot to create a healthy family. That’s why our educational, developmental, subsidy, and mental health programs work together to support families and help them access the services they need.
Supporting Caregivers
Children’s families and caregivers are their first and best teachers, so we provide services and resources to help them succeed in this critical role.
Upcoming Events!!!
Drew CDC events support families, celebrate local heroes, and build community throughout South LA.
