City of Colton Community Services Department Staff Spotlight

Meet Nikki Green

The City of Colton Community Services is committed to implementing the intent and spirit of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Adults and children with disabilities are welcome to participate in our classes, programs, and activities. If you have special needs which require specific accommodations in order to enjoy one of our programs or facilities, please contact us at (909) 370-6153.

Nikki was prompted to join the Recreation Division in 2011 to gain experience in working with children while she worked towards becoming a Physical Education Teacher. Nikki became a cornerstone of Teen Programing in 2012 as a Recreation Specialist where she generated thoughtful programing and mentorship for many teens for the next five years. Her proudest accomplishment was creating and implementing a sponsorship program that provided Christmas gifts for every teen participant which still exists today. Nikki has lead and supported many programs over the last several years such as VolunTEENs, Day Camp, Contract Classes, Youth Sports and Healthy Colton. She is currently the driving force behind the Community Services Department social media and Recreation Division marketing and is often found behind the camera at events and programs. Nikki was essential during the COVID-19 Pandemic where she sought to share important information and at-home programing virtually while the community centers were closed.

Nikki holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Kinesiology from Cal State San Bernardino and is currently pursuing a Master’s Degree in Elementary Education. Her primary job is a substitute teacher, but she makes time for the Community Services Department because she has seen the positive impact made and the difference made in the community.
