Our vision is: one Sonoma Valley community working together where all have equal opportunity to succeed. false false 1879099 537486 La Luz Center is a Family Resource Center that has served Sonoma Valley's most vulnerable families for more than 35 years. It was founded by volunteers who wanted to establish a safe place for new immigrants to receive support. In the early years, La Luz offered emergency support, housing assistance, and referrals for farm workers. Today the focus is on the promotion of economic self-sufficiency and long-term stability among our community members. The programming centers around three focus areas: family services, economic advancement, and community engagement. La Luz helps individuals and families via three service types: (1) connections and support, helping clients access and navigate resources they need by way of information and referrals; (2) learning, in which the clients gain the skills and knowledge they need to succeed in life; and (3) engagement, in which they help individuals and families connect with each other, our community, and local schools through community/arts events, leadership/civic engagement, and school-based services.La Luz serves 90% of Sonoma Valley's Latino population, making it the "go to" place for local families seeking assistance in managing and improving their lives and, as a result, they are a trusted provider of community-based services. La Luz provided its services to approximately 2,143 people in 2020. 1879099 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false false true true false false false false false false false true false false false true true false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false true 24 0 true 24 false false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 18 18 false false false false false false false true false false false true true true false true true true false false X Leonardo Lobato 7079385131 17650 Greger Street Sonoma CA 95476 X Juan Hernandez III Executive Director 38.00 0.00 152295 0 10783 Veronica Vences Development Dir. 40.00 0.00 105369 0 9786 Sutapa C Balaji Dir Finance & Adm 40.00 0.00 104417 0 5000 Ken Adelson Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Rayne Dessayer Secretary 3.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Kimberly Blattner President 5.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Ligia Booker Dir.
