In 1995, with a passion to help the most vulnerable children and families, Terry Thompson and Claire Braeburn founded America On Track after researching the needs and critical problems facing Orange County communities.
Both college graduates, they combined their talents, business experience as well as leadership training skills to create and develop every component of America On Track, an independent 501(c)(3) organization that has reached hundreds of thousands of children and families throughout Orange County.

Over the years, their vision became a reality known as America On Track with successfully designed and executed ground breaking programs in youth leadership development, mentoring, fitness and nutrition education, tobacco/drug use prevention, and policy development.
Currently, with the help of a dedicated Board of Directors, staff members and volunteers, America On Track serves over 44,000 people per year, and allocates 91¢ of every dollar to program services.
