"Today, his nonprofit, Lost Angels Children's Project, provides an afterschool program -- with a focus on classic car restoration -- for low-income, foster and at-risk youth. 'Our whole goal is to offer somewhere positive and safe where they can come and learn and be a part of something different,' Valencia said. Three times a week, about 15 children come to classes, where they learn how to build a car."
