The Great Valley Center is
the only nonprofit, nonpartisan organization
working to strengthen the entire Valley as a region. |

The Center is working to improve life in the Valley for everyone so that we might
have a brighter, healthier and more prosperous future for the region. |

The Great Valley Center is giving a new
pride and recognition to a region that has
long been unrecognized and has a very diverse
cultural population. |

The Great Valley Center is an organization
like no other. We are often behind the scenes
bringing folks together as a covener or working
as a catalyst for change. |

There is no other organization providing
a region wide perspective—established
to build the capacity of the region to increase
its ability to act in its own behalf. |

Because of the Great Valley Center’s
work, community leaders, decision makers,
and business people notice the potential
of the region that stretches from Redding
to Bakersfield. |
