CCRC is offering a Nurturing Fathers series at its Victorville office that supports dads and father figures in building healthy, caring relationships with their children. Using an evidence-based parenting curriculum, the sessions focus on positive parenting, emotional awareness, and responsible fathering to strengthen families and promote child well-being.

An inclusive karate class at Rick Novack Community Center welcomes participants of all abilities, including kids, teens, and adults. Instruction emphasizes clear structure and a steady routine in a supportive setting so everyone can progress at a pace that feels right. Students practice core karate techniques while building coordination, balance, focus, and confidence. The approach recognizes effort and growth and encourages respect for oneself and others. The class nurtures self-discipline and concentration, supports emotional regulation, and promotes teamwork and positive behavior alongside physical strength and stability. No prior experience is required, and families or caregivers may observe or take part if needed.

A purpose-driven networking gathering focused on genuine relationships, practical skills, and community impact. The program begins with a brief, highly actionable session on intentional networking that lasts about 10 to 15 minutes, then moves into structured conversation rounds where participants practice introductions and plan effective follow ups. A featured nonprofit shares a concise overview of its mission and results, with options to contribute through donations, volunteering, or corporate partnerships. Event sponsors also offer useful insights from their fields. Attendees can sharpen techniques that turn casual conversation into meaningful business connections, meet professionals from a variety of industries in a relaxed business casual environment, and support a local organization making a clear difference. Facilitation is led by Irene Gaulke, CEO of The Classy Dame Professional Development, an experienced business coach and connector who helps owners and professionals build purposeful referral networks, strong operational systems, and targeted market strategies through one on one coaching, group programs, and hands-on workshops. Sponsor and vendor opportunities are available, and the event is actively seeking nonprofits to feature and support.
