Our Strategic Framework For Change

Human Capital

Launching our future workforce into local careers

Our work will improve access to local opportunities for our youth. We're aligning K16 pathways with local business & industry, incentivizing youth to pursue their future here, and helping them gain valuable experience through internships.

Economic Opportunity

Igniting upward mobility in the local market

Youth will have opportunities to advance and know how to maximize success when they achieve it. Our collective work will increase entrepreneurialism, financial literacy, digital access and professional networks among the next generation.

Neighborhood Development

Fostering conditions for growing roots here

San Bernardino already has a wealth of opportunity - culture, family, jobs, higher education, and smart kids. Together we will strengthen our community around them. We're inspiring investments in developing our neighborhoods, improving safety, enhancing community pride, and creating opportunities for small businesses to thrive.

Collective Impact

Thriving together through collective impact

Our transformational work provides the glue to keep a community focused on the same goal. We're facilitating communication, monitoring our impact, and learning together. Uplift San Bernardino is a backbone organization for the combined efforts of a variety of aligned collaborative works.
