The nonprofit organization Think Together, a major provider of expanded learning programs across California, is laying off 114 employees at its Riverside County regional operations center. The Santa Ana-based group confirmed the workforce reduction this week, attributing the difficult decision to changing operational and funding conditions.

The layoffs will directly impact the regional hub that supports programs throughout Riverside County. While the organization did not specify the exact roles affected, such a substantial reduction suggests a significant restructuring of its local administrative and support services. Think Together partners with numerous school districts to offer after-school, summer learning, and other educational enrichment programs designed to support student achievement.

In a statement, the nonprofit emphasized that the layoffs were a necessary response to evolving external challenges but reaffirmed its commitment to its core mission of partnering with communities to change the odds for kids. The organization is reportedly providing transition assistance to affected employees. The move highlights the ongoing pressures faced by educational service providers amid fluctuating enrollment and funding landscapes, even as the demand for student support services remains high.
