Outreach
Department
Did you know that the Wylie Center provides school-based prevention and intervention services to the students in the greater Riverside area?
Through contracts with both Alvord and Riverside Unified School Districts, The Wylie Center Outreach Counselors are housed in more than ten elementary, middle and high schools.
The Outreach Counselors work with children, youth and school personnel in many ways, such as:
- Individual and small group counseling sessions
- Crisis intervention
- Parent consultation
In these short-term programs, the students receive guidance in dealing with challenges at school and the community. The goal of the outreach counselor is to help the students have a great school experience, while encouraging the parents to be involved in the process.
For more information about the Outreach Program or to find out if your child goes to a participating school, call Rosemary Garcia at 683-5193 ext 211

The Connie L. Beasley and Family Scholarship Fund
Children's Center Founder Connie L. Beasley has been working tirelessly to develop a scholarship fund to assist the Wylie Center's most deserving families.
In Spring, 2009, after two years of research and hard work, Connie, along with volunteer Karen Bradford, published Our Story, a 93-page, full color history that weaves together the stories of both the Children's Center and the Beasley family. Proceeds from the sale of this delightful memoir benefit the Scholarship Fund.
We are grateful to the Beasley family for its ongoing contributions to the children and families of the Wylie Center.
For more information on how to contribute to the Beasley Family Scholarship Fund, call Connie at 951-683-5193. |
