What Reach Out does

Reach Out (legal entity: Reach Out West End) is a nonprofit community health organization founded in 1969 and headquartered in Upland, California, serving the Inland Empire region of Southern California. The organization operates three physical offices (Upland, Jurupa Valley, and Yucca Valley) and delivers more than 30 programs impacting over two million residents annually across three primary focus areas: Community Health (healthy living, community beautification, public safety, and health education), Generational Wellness (trauma-informed interventions, safe community spaces, and family/youth resources), and Health Workforce (community health worker training and healthcare career pipeline development).

The organization's service portfolio includes Pacific Empire College, an educational institution launched in 2023-2024 to train the next generation of Community Health Workers; the Inland Healthy Cities Institute, focused on regional health outcomes; the Jurupa Valley Resource Center, providing free confidential resource navigation (housing, workforce, youth education, family wellness, legal, and food assistance); and Evaluation Services for program outcome measurement. Reach Out also convenes two major annual events — the National Innovative Communities Conference (NICC) at the Riverside Convention Center and the Health Professions Conference — along with the Dia de los Muertos Jurupa Valley cultural event. A mobile application (Reach Out MH) supports participant communication via text messaging.

The revenue model is nonprofit-based, generated primarily through foundation grants (notably from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation), federal and government funding (e.g., AmeriCorps Public Allies), corporate sponsorships from healthcare institutions (Kaiser Permanente, CVS Health, IEHP), county-level government partnerships, and individual donations via the Givebutter portal. Services are provided at no cost to community members. The organization maintains a Charity Navigator 4-star rating and was recognized with the 2024 Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Culture of Health Prize for its Healthy Jurupa Valley initiative.
