MOVE TOGETHER. LEAD TOGETHER.

Become a Moai Lead this April!

What if getting healthier didn’t mean doing it alone?

This April 18, we’re launching 10-week Moais, small groups of people who commit to meeting once a week, for one hour to connect and build a healthy habit. And we’re looking for community members to help start them.

You don’t need to be a fitness expert. You don’t need to coach anyone. You just need to invite people and show up :)

The City of Riverside is now a Blue Zones Project Approved Worksite! 🎉

On March 4, 2026, we celebrated by cutting the blue ribbon and unveiling a downshift space—a dedicated space for employees to recharge. This is a big step towards reducing stress and improving the health and well-being of employees.
Together, we’re building a healthier workplace and a stronger community for everyone.
