East Region Collaborative Network

The East Region Collaborative Network (ERCN) was formed in 1998 to unite seven regional collaboratives (El Cajon, Lakeside, La Mesa, Lemon Grove, Mountain Empire, Santee Collaboratives, and the Spring Valley Youth and Family Coalition) with a goal of establishing a region where families are safe, healthy, educated, and informed. ERCN works with partners from large municipalities to small, rural communities to distribute information, discuss emerging issues, share policy-related strategies, leverage resources, and advocate for opportunities.

We hope to see you at an upcoming collaborative meeting!
