CityWay Community Economic Development Corporation (CityWay CEDC) is a community-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit in San Bernardino, California. It was established by The Way World Outreach to advance community and economic development in inner cities, and it works across five areas: employment, education, community, economic development, and entrepreneurship, with one goal: breaking the cycle of poverty.
CityWay CEDC's office is at 4835 Hallmark Pkwy, San Bernardino, CA 92407. You can call 909.491.2332 or email education@citywaycedc.org. CityWay is a ministry partner of The Way World Outreach, which also has locations in Pomona and Los Angeles.
Employment (career pathways and workforce development), Education (practical, faith-rooted learning for entrepreneurs, families, and the next generation), Community (connecting neighbors, churches, and employers), Economic Development (sustainable, financially responsible models that move neighborhoods forward), and Entrepreneurial (business experience poured into founders building from the ground up).
CityWay serves residents, families, small business owners, employers, churches, and agencies in San Bernardino and the surrounding Inland Empire. Programs and events take place in San Bernardino. See the cities we serve.

Yes. On August 13, 2026, CityWay held a Job Fair, Community Resource Fair, and Mobile Court at The Way World Outreach (4680 Hallmark Pkwy, San Bernardino) with 35 employers hiring and 32 community resource partners. Attendees also had access to record expungement help, free professional clothing, free haircuts, and lunch. Read the job fair recap and check Events for what is next.
At the August 13, 2026 job fair, a mobile court operated on site so neighbors could begin clearing an old record the same day they applied for work. Whether that service is offered at a future event will be announced on the Events page. The California courts also publish free self-help steps for cleaning a record at selfhelp.courts.ca.gov.
For the August 2026 event, employers registered for a table online (the employer table fee was $95) and community resource partners took part at no cost. For the next event, contact CityWay through the contact form (choose "Employer or hiring inquiry") or call 909.491.2332.
