Miki Jordan
Former President & CEO
Para Los Niņos
Miki Jordan, one of nonprofit’s most outstanding professionals, joined Para Los Niños in 1992, eager to lead the organization into its next stage of growth and development. In fact, with Jordan at the helm, Para Los Niños grew from a small agency with a budget of $1 million to a thriving, fiscally sound organization with a $14 million budget, which – now in its 25th year – serves more than 2,000 impoverished children each day, and 4,000 families each year in Los Angeles and San Bernardino Counties.
Jordan has a legacy of service to the community: it was her father, Fred Jordan, who founded the Fred Jordan Mission in 1944. The Jordan family still leads the Mission’s efforts today. Miki has more than twenty years of experience with child welfare agencies.
Under Jordan’s direction, Para Los Niños gained a reputation for excellence throughout Los Angeles and the nation. The organization has received numerous honors and awards, including full accreditation from the prestigious Council on Accreditation of Services for Families and Children.
