The Reach Out to Families Resource Center has been a little hidden gem of the South Bay community since it was established in 1995. Serving the community for over two decades, the Reach Out to Families Resource Center has been a warm and welcoming community center that collaborates with community agency partners to provide SBUSD students and families with support and linkage to services. The Center is staffed with district support staff and community agency partners that are available to assist all community members.

REACH OUT TO FAMILIES COLLABORATIVE

The Collaborative is dedicated to working with the community to empower its members with the necessary tools and resources to be self-sufficient.

 

Core Statement of the Collaborative

We believe in:

 

EMPOWERMENT

We believe that services provided through collaboration and networking will improve the quality of life for children and families in our community by building their capacity to be self-reliant.

 

HONESTY

Only through honesty in both words and actions will we continue to build the mutual trust that is the foundation of our relationship with ourselves, our clients, and our Collaborative partners.

 

RESPECT

We seek, encourage, and respect each individual’s contribution to this collaborative and value the services provided by each individual and each partner agency.

 

DIVERSITY

The beauty of our Collaborative is in the diversity of its members.

 

 

Monthly Coordinating Council Meetings

The Coordinating Council is a collaborative comprised of community agencies that provide free or reduced services to our community. Information regarding the services offered by each agency, to better serve SBUSD families, is shared at the meetings. The public is welcome to attend the meetings. The Coordinating Council meets at the Reach Out to Families Resource Center on the 3rd Thursday of the month from September - May (except December and March).
