In this week's Education Insight-stories of surprise and success from local students. 

Today we bring you a show that has little to do with classroom lessons but everything to do with local student success. In the aftermath of the pandemic, we now have more community college students of all ages, living in cars, arriving hungry, in need of traditional and mental health services, and having serious transportation issues. They are often veterans or those who lost work during the lockdowns. In California, Education leaders and legislators have become increasingly aware of this. So, this year, they helped make federal, state, non-profit, and private money become more readily available to Inland Empire colleges to help these students stay healthy, safe, and learning. These services often referred to as wrap-around support, are now providing struggling community college students with Food, housing, childcare, mental health, financial assistance, and transportation. Today-two top administrators are responsible for establishing programs that get those services to the students who most need them.

This past month the Toward A Shared Vision education summit was held at the Riverside Convention center. It was aimed at bringing education leaders from Inland Southern California together to collaborate and in many cases to put those who come from different colleges and universities or K-12 in the same room to learn how others might be doing the very same job with different results.

The last few years have been tumultuous for everyone. From lockdowns, drought, protests, shootings, bullies, a global pandemic, and politics.

Today we are looking at how well our Inland Southern California Kids are doing, with two experts who are on campuses, leading major efforts to help our kids stay mentally healthy, happy, and productive.

We’ve all heard the saying "it takes a village to raise a child". Well, two Inland community-based programs heard that and said "I think that’s our cue".
