About Fred Kennedy Associates Inc

Fred Kennedy Associates Inc. is a nonprofit in Carson, California, that runs court-approved DUI programs and alcohol and drug education for people who have been convicted or are still awaiting charges. Their mission centers on helping people recover from drug and alcohol dependency, and they aim to meet clients wherever they are in the referral process and guide them through to completion. The Carson office dates to 1993, when the Watkins and Gilmore families took over management of the organization, and they have since added offices in San Pedro, Santa Monica, and Westchester.

Their core programs include First Offender DUI, Multiple Offender DUI, and out-of-state assessments, which can satisfy court orders or DMV requirements for restoring driving privileges. Over the years, their work has also included batterer’s intervention, anger management, PC-100, and traffic school programs. Services are offered in person, and some locations also provide telehealth sessions over Zoom. They focus on keeping programs affordable and serve clients regardless of race, religion, sexual orientation, disability, or financial situation.
