ince its inception in 2019, Uplift San Bernardino has been busy building a new generation of successful adults committed to growing roots in San Bernardino. It’s estimated that about 1,000 adults, young adults and youth benefit from Uplift’s partner social service and resource pro-
grams every year; and the organization is committed to growing that number. “At Uplift we amplify existing programs that our partners are already operating. Our framework for change includes over 50 partners that provide our clients with future ready career pathways, post-secondary success, support for entrepreneurs, housing opportunities, retaining talent and hiring local, safe neighbor-
hoods, internships and financial literacy resources,” said Uplift San Bernardino Director Karen Suarez. As few people may argue that there’s a lack of opportunity, Uplift is confident the city’s educational opportunities, job market, resources and housing has the framework to continue building another generation of successful adults.
“I want our community to know that there’s an ecosystem of adults here at Uplift that want to create a future for them. Many of our students in the city want to stay in San Bernardino and build roots here. As a college graduate, there are lots of opportunities in our city; every opportunity I’ve ever had came from this region. Today, I’m finding jobs of all levels here…jobs that require Uplift SB, cont. on next pg.
