Nonprofit Job Board - Inland Empire

Established in 1996, Building A Generation has been providing nurturing environments for kids and their families to foster healthy relationships for them to thrive and end child abuse through parent education, youth development programs, financial literacy workshops, financial assistance, mental health support, career services, and connections to community resources enabling families to become healthy and self-sufficient. We serve low-income families who lack access to social support and resources, in underrepresented areas where youth are negatively impacted by trauma, exposed to substance abuse, domestic violence, and child abuse.
Our founding principle is to increase equitable access to education, services and resources for under-served and under-resourced communities. Through consistent and creative outreach, we implement family and community engagement activities to help facilitate growth and development, foster a positive and an inclusive learning environment, and allowing equal access and opportunity to any community member as a strategy in achieving our social equity goals.
