ince 2006, the city of Colton has served as a space of skill cultivation for hundreds of teenagers.

The program, which encompasses training in customer service, clerical functions and leadership, recruits 15 teenagers between the ages of 13-15 years old each summer.

“The VolunTEEN Program is six weeks long and the deadline to apply is this Friday, May 8.

We’re asking locals to fill out the 2020 VolunTEEN application, which can be found on the city’s website and drop it off at the Colton Public Library,” said Nikki Green, City of Colton recreation specialist.

Before the volunteers hit the ground running in their recreational role, they each receive 16 hours of training.

indings of San Bernardino County’s annual Point-In-Time Count (PITC), which took place on Jan. 23, calls for cities and the County to recognize the recent evolution of homelessness as a human services crisis, and to work together to provide much needed services and housing.

The data collected found a 19.9% increase in the county’s homeless population compared to the 2019 count when 2,607 people were identified, compared to 3,125 this year. Of the additional 518 homeless counted, 470 are identified as unsheltered and 48 sheltered individuals are temporarily housed in shelters, motels, or through transitional housing programs.

“Our efforts to end homelessness must remain a top priority countywide,” said Vice Chair of the San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors Josie Gonzales, who is also chair of the Interagency Council on CAPSBC , cont. on next pg.

County Superintendent Ted Alejandre appointed to K-12 High Speed Network Advisory Board

S

an Bernardino County Superintendent of Schools Ted Alejandre has been appointed by California Superintendent of Public Instruction Tony Thurmond to the K-12 High Speed Network Advisory Board.

Alejandre's appointment to the board is effective immediately through June 30, 2022.

The K-12 High Speed Network is a state program funded by the California Department of Education to provide the California K12 community with network

connectivity, teaching and learning application coordination, and videoconferencing support. The mission of the K-12 High Speed Network advisory board is to enable educators, students and staff across the state to have access to reliable high-speed networks that have the capacity to deliver high quality online resources to support teaching and learning, and promote academic achievement.

Alejandre expressed his enthusiasm for the appointment saying, "This is an exciting time of trans-

formation in K-12 education. The impact new technologies are having on education across the state is tremendous-particularly as we shift to distance learning. I look forward to helping our public schools stay on the forefront of these exciting innovations."

Thurmond remarked, "I am confident that you will be a valuable member of the advisory board.

Thank you for your willingness to serve in this capacity."

VolunTeen “They have the opportunity to tour all of the city’s facilities, our programming and meet staff. We also teach them customer service etiquette, which includes how to answer phones, how to interact with children and seniors,” continued Green.

Another exciting portion of the program is that it encompasses a section in which the volunteers step foot into the city’s library operations.

“They will get the opportunity to work with library staff and learn how to check out library books, book organization and create crafts for various library programs,” Green said.

At the end of the six-week program, every volunteer will receive a $150 stipend.

“Within those six weeks, each volunteer works a total of 150 hours, which is 25 hours per week and at the end of it all, each of

them receive a $150 stipend,” said Green.

Whether an applicant receives the opportunity to volunteer or not, many can agree that the process itself is worth the experience.

“This entire process is a learning experience for teenagers, from filling out the application to the interview and beyond. We let the applicants know how to dress to their interview and make sure to share the importance of arriving 15 minutes early,” concluded Green.

Over the years, hundreds of teenagers have cultivated their skills through Colton’s VolunTEEN program and many even choose to volunteer the following year; which speaks volumes in regard to the attainment of success in this program.

Aguilar announces $1.5 million in Coronavir us Relief Funds for Inland Empire Af fordable Housing

ep. Pete Aguilar announced that the Housing Authority of the County of San Bernardino (HACSB) received $1,547,064 in funding from the CARES Act, legislation passed by Congress to provide relief to Americans during the coronavirus crisis. The funding will help HACSB offset rental income lost due to the economic hardship caused by the virus, and nearly $40,000 is designated to purchase cleaning supplies and protective

equipment to help tenants and HACSB employees stay safe and prevent the spread of the virus.

“I voted for the CARES Act to make sure San Bernardino County residents have the resources they need to stay safe and make ends meet during this crisis. I’m proud to announce this funding to make sure our region continues to provide affordable housing options to our residents while implementing new safeguards to prevent the

spread of this virus,” said Aguilar.

“We are so grateful to Congress and the American tax-payers for the CARES Act funding. The safety of our residents and staff is our top priority! As good stewards of tax-payer dollars we will maximize the funding and pay for the urgent health and safety measures we’ve adopted as a result of COVID-19,” said Maria Razo, Executive Director of HACSB.

skills, and coping strategies. On the other end of the continuum, “Success First/Early Wraparound,” is a family-centered program to address depression, anxiety, trauma, and other mental health struggles. Students and their families are supported with a Child and Family Team (CFT) to help them in the journey to reach their potential at home, school, and within the community. Services are provided through a partnership with San Bernardino County Department of Behavioral Health and the support of community members.

"I shared with our cadets that they would be in a unique position upon completion of the program," said Alder. "The job outlook is very favorable, and they will not be competing with other applicants as they normally would at this time of year. I shared this statistic with the students, and I believe it was a pivotal moment that motivated them to keep going, work hard and complete the program in the face of these circumstances."

In California between 2014 and 2024 it is expected that approximately 1,200 new Firefighters will be hired annually, with 100 of those each year in the San Bernardino and Riverside area.

Employment of Fire Fighters is expected to increase slightly faster than the average for all occupations. Labor Market Source: State of California Employment Development Dept.

"These students have persevered and earned their firefighter 1 certificates despite even more intense circumstances than most of our cadets," said Alder. "It truly is extraordinary how our administration, faculty, staff and students have worked together to be successful during these challenging times. I am so proud of how everyone pulled together. These cadets will graduate with honor and they have exhibited the cando, persevering attitude and character that all amazing firefighters show."

Day drive-thr u g rocer y distribution event

T

he Hitch Burger Grill in Rancho Cucamonga will, once again, be partnering with Project Boon to host a drivethru FREE grocery distribution for underserved families in the Inland Empire area. On May 10 at 2:00pm, Project Boon will be handing out bags of groceries to those in need at the Hitch Burger drive-thru (10789 Arrow Rte., Rancho Cucamonga).

The event on Easter Sunday was an incredible success! Project Boon and Hitch Burger handed out over 200 bags of groceries and cases of water to families in need and hope to serve 300 families on Mother’s Day!

Families in need can come to Hitch Burger on Sunday, May 10 at 2:00pm for this free grocery distribution. Hitch Burger and Project Boon do ask that you do not line up early and distribution is limited to ONE bag per car.

Groceries will be distributed on a first-come, first-serve basis. In order to maintain social distancing and follow all CDC guidelines, this will be drive-thru only. Project Boon and Hitch Burger look forward to helping underserved families make ends meet during the particularly difficult time.

Rach G. was able to get muchneeded groceries on Easter and

was even able to share with her neighbors in need. “Thank you for your generosity. It was so organized and unbelievably emotional to receive this offering. We were able to share our groceries with neighbors so we all may be fed during this difficulty. Thank you for feeding us spiritually as well.

God bless you all.”

If you would like to help make this grocery distribution a success, Project Boon is accepting donations online at www.projectboon.org. A donation of just $15 is enough to help feed one family on Mother’s Day!

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction.

You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself.

Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien.

If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder's office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information.

If you consult either of these

resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property.
