Thank you for a Successful 2022

2022 was a successful year for Reach Out in continuing with its mission to strengthen communities in the Inland region of Southern California. Here are just a few highlights.

• As Californians are still feeling the effects of the global pandemic, Reach Out continued making great strides in spreading the word about Covid-19, educating over 295,000 community members through outreach, and helping over 16,000 vaccine registrants. The Vaccine Equity Team also hosted many vaccine clinics throughout the year along with Riverside Community Health Systems and Reach Out's vaccine equity partners.

• In March, Reach Out celebrated a new Adventure Garden located adjacent to the Louis Robidoux Library in Jurupa Valley with a ribbon-cutting ceremony.

• Reach Out's Center for Civic Policy & Leadership (CCPL) held its graduation in April. Twenty CCPL fellows graduated from this 15-month intensive fellowship program, collaboratively advocating for social justice for all.

• Reach Out's Inland Health Professions Consortium team held its annual Health Professions Conference in April. High school students throughout the Inland Empire were able to hear from various guest speakers about health career opportunities.

• The theme of this year's 2022 National Innovative Communities Conference was “You Are the Fire” invoking a call to all leaders in the fight for social justice. Keynote speaker Kelli Dillon shared her riveting story of triumph and courage, and a panel of community advocates and leaders enlightened the audience on personal stories of what their fire is to invoke change.

• Reach Out's Youth and Family Wellness Department hosted "Future Forward," a youth and family resource fair that highlighted various career options and educational pathways to pursue after high school.

• In October, Reach Out launched its inaugural Jurupa Valley Dia de los Muertos event which attracted over 3,500 attendees. The event created a sense of cohesiveness within the community to celebrate cultural traditions. Special guests included Assemblymember Sabrina Cervantes, and Jurupa Valley City Council members Lorena Barajas, Guillermo Silva, and Mayor Pro-Tem Leslie Altamirano.
