REIB Collaborative

The REIB Statewide Initiative has brought together a collaborative of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) experts to design our training curriculum. This curriculum will be used to provide training to county welfare department staff touching the CalWORKs and CalFresh programs. The workshops will be presented in a variety of modalities, including in-person, instructor-led online classes, and longer-term learning collaboratives.
