Connecting Opportunities

Building the capacity of our community residents and stakeholders to develop a future where all have the opportunity to thrive in this beautiful city that we all call home!

Building a welcoming city where people feel they belong

The mayor and city council of the City of La Verne have pledged their efforts in making La Verne an inclusive, welcoming city for all individuals looking to lead a happy, healthy lifestyle. La Verne has long been a great place to live, work, play, grow a family, and retire. We are seeking to move our city forward, while at the same time maintain the beautiful aspects of our city that makes La Verne a truly great place to live. We engage all city departments to ensure services are fair, equitable, and delivered without identity-based bias, prejudice, discrimination, and retaliation.

Building a sustainable future together

The City of La Verne prides itself on our engagement with our youth. The committee is devoted to ensuring equity across the board so that all students studying in the City of La Verne are doing so in a safe, inclusive space. We work diligently with the Youth and Family Action Committee to ensure our students have the  best possible chances to succeed, regardless of their identity and/or background. We are strengthening our connection to the local schools and school district.

Partnering with businesses, churches, nonprofits, and community groups

The committee seeks and maintains positive relationships with our local stakeholders. We are working with our business and nonprofit leaders and the La Verne Chamber of Commerce to ensure those being served by and patronizing our businesses are left feeling welcomed and included. A collaborative approach is the only way to a sustainable community.

A community where everyone has the opportunity to thrive
