As we begin the new year, we find ourselves reflecting on the countless opportunities of collaboration with over 1 million #Riverside County residents annually. Each day unfolds with opportunities for partnerships to work together with the #RivCo residents toward improving the health, safety, independence, and well-being of children, adults, and families. The examples featured in the video are a testament to the collective efforts that have brought about opportunities for children, adults, and families to thrive. As we eagerly anticipate the year ahead, we are excited about the continued partnerships with residents and county and community partners as we work together towards a future of safety, #health and #wellness for all #children, adults, and #families in Riverside County. Please visit https://rivcodpss.org/ for more information about our programs and services. Happy 2024. #riverside #rivco #rivconow

About us
The Riverside County Department of Public Social Services (DPSS) provides services and assistance to protect and empower vulnerable people in our community. In 1923, with just two employees, Riverside County launched a public welfare program that now services over 1 million people each year! Nearly a century later, we are 4300 employees strong. We support working class individuals and families who are struggling with low income. We offer access to health care coverage, temporary financial assistance, employment programs and training, and services that protect children and adults from abuse and neglect. We do all of this through our five departments: Administration, Adult Services, Children’s Services, Self Sufficiency, and Fiscal and Forecasting. Our mission is to support and improve the health, safety, well-being and independence of our county’s individuals and families. We work according to 7 values: Accountability, Collaboration, Respect, Integrity, Diversity, Learning and Customer Focus. We strive to be an organization known by our caring professionals who collaborate with the best partners to provide the most effective solutions to customers and individuals and families in crisis.

Meet Monique, a remarkable 18-year-old from our 2024 graduating class of foster youth seniors who overcame incredible challenges to earn her diploma from Citrus Valley High School in Redlands. With unwavering support from Project Graduate, a transformative mentorship initiative that has guided more than 50 at-risk foster youth to graduation since its inception in 2011, Monique has defied expectations. Driven by her passion for cosmetology and a dream of a future in music, Monique is set to embark on her next chapter at Riverside City College. Her journey is not just about academic achievement but a testament to resilience and the power of dedicated mentorship in changing lives. All Riverside County graduating foster youth receive additional support from various county and community partners, such as the Riverside County Office of Education, Court Appointed Special Advocate volunteers, faith-based organizations, and others.
