Serving Orange County and Los Angeles County
Full Circle Orange County
Full Circle is designed to provide risk-impacted students with the guidance & support they need to overcome challenges.
"You are who you choose to become.”
Founders Passion
Full Circle was founded by Martha Trujillo, a proud product of Orange County who once walked the same uncertain paths as the youth she now serves. Experiencing foster care, gang involvement, incarceration, and drug addiction. That journey from pain to purpose is the foundation of everything Full Circle stands for.
Diversion through Mentorship
My Mission
I know the transformative power of having someone who believes in your potential. Every student, no matter their circumstances, holds the spark to succeed. Life's challenges do not have to dictate their future. I believe that by providing the right support, understanding, and consistent effort, I can help every student I mentor rewrite, redefine and reclaim their story.
My Vision
Full Circle embodies the belief that "diversion through mentorship" can help students break free from the cycles of risk and failure. By allowing the use of lived experience, academic knowledge, and compassionate guidance to support and coach, teaching students a new way to envision where they are destined to be is POSSIBLE.
