Meet Da’rrel Jones from the Blu Educational Foundation working with JUST SB.
BLU began its work in 2001 as a response to the higher education challenges faced by families with limited income and limited opportunities in California’s Inland Empire (Riverside and San Bernardino Counties).
Currently, BLU manages several education and civic engagement programs that create a comprehensive approach to our goal of building productive communities.
JUST SB podcast was created to connect the people of the Inland Empire and abroad to a community platform to discuss workforce, career pipelines, environment, education, policies, art, cultural activities, community events, and more. Check out our website www.JUSTSB.org where we are working together to create the People’s Plan.
Below are some of our goals:
* The Just San Bernardino collaborative created the People’s Plan for Economic Inclusion, a strategic plan to improve economic conditions for Black and Brown residents suffering from low-paying jobs with no opportunity for advancement.* Increased resident knowledge of and engagement around regional economic planning processes and current efforts to create quality jobs in San Bernardino.* Increased capacity of Just San Bernardino partners to lead economic planning efforts that generate quality jobs.* Achieved stronger alignment between community and systems leaders around city-specific and regional economic planning and quality job creation efforts.
