Norton Neighborhoods

This blog tells the story of the Norton Neighborhoods Initiative, a venue and a vision for community development in the southeastern part of the City of San Bernardino, California, around the former Norton Air Force Base (now San Bernardino International Airport). The project is facilitated by Ronald Graybill, PhD, Community Outreach Director for Loma Linda University Medical Center. For more info, see http://www.healthycities.com

Healthy Neighborhoods Mentoring is an "asset-based" program, focussed on the assets we have, not those we lack. A Corvette Stingray one of our mentors drives proved to be an attractive "asset" to three of our proteges--one from Serrano Middle School (left) and two from San Gorgonio High (right).
