Narrative
The Mission of the Palo Verde River Consortium continues to be to strengthen adult education in the rural, remote regions of Riverside and San Bernardino Counties, anchored respectively by the communities of Blythe and Needles. The consortium consists of three voting members, Palo Verde College, Palo Verde Unified School District and Needles Unified School District, and a number of partner institutions including the continuation schools in Blythe and Needles, two tribal entities, several state prisons served by the college, and numerous local city and county social service and business agencies. Palo Verde College is the sole member provider of adult education programs in the Consortium. By consolidating the individual efforts of the various institutions that serve these communities into a single entity, the Consortium will continue to meet the educational and career training needs of community members to provide a sustainable living for themselves and their families. We are dedicated to offering equal access to these services so that all residents of the community have an equal opportunity to succeed in their career and life aspirations.
