The University Eastside Community Collaborative was established in 1995 by the Chancellor of the University of California, Riverside, the Mayor of the City of Riverside, and the Superintendent of the Riverside Unified School District to assist in improving the quality of life in the neighborhood adjacent to the UCR campus, known as the Eastside. The Collaborative is a true partnership leveraging services, cash and in-kind resources from each of its partners.

We believe that, through continued collaboration of our established partnership and sustained efforts of our dedicated staff, tutors and mentors, we will improve academic performance, provide a safe place for youth, and strengthen the Eastside community.
