Mission

THE ORANGE COUNTY CHILDREN'S THERAPEUTIC ARTS CENTER (OCCTAC) IS A 501C(3) NON-PROFIT COMMUNITY ORGANIZATION LOCATED IN THE CITY OF SANTA ANA. OUR MISSION IS TO PROVIDE INNOVATIVE, ARTISTIC, EDUCATIONAL AND THERAPEUTIC PROGRAMS THAT TRANSFORM AND INSPIRE CHILDREN, AT-RISK YOUTH AND FAMILIES TO FULFILL THEIR HIGHEST POTENTIAL IN LIFE. MORE THAN 90% OF ALL THE FAMILIES SERVED ARE FROM VERY LOW INCOME, AND FROM CULTURALLY AND LINGUISTICALLY DIVERSE BACKGROUNDS. THE MAJORITY OF THE FAMILIES SERVED ARE FROM THE CITY OF SANTA ANA AND NEARBY COMMUNITIES, SUCH AS ANAHEIM, TUSTIN, ORANGE, FULLERTON, GARDEN GROVE, AND OTHER NEARBY COMMUNITIES.
