Sun Valley Care Development, Inc

Mission

Our mission is to restore, empower and advance the people, structures and institutions in Sun Valley, California and the surrounding areas.

To develop the well-being of the community at large by promoting programs in areas of general education, recreation, and health and such other activities that will enhance, enrich and be conductive to the development and well-being of people in the pursuit of their individual goals and aspirations.

To acquire and develop real property that will enhance the above programs as well as similar programs of other non-profit organizations involved in recreation and education.

Vision

Our vision is to use education as the vehicle of social change. For this reason, we strive to partner with other organizations who provide guidance, educational programs and recreational activities that seek prevention instead of remediation to the current social programs experienced by our community.

Community

With our financial support to Sol del Valley Community Center, education and recreational programs such as summer camps for children ages 4 to 14, after-school and homework club programs, tutoring and music classes, soccer leagues, citizenship classes and parenting workshops have been made available to the community.

Education

For a number of years, Sun Valley CARE Development has sponsored a college work-study program that enables local and international students access to higher education. This program allows students to cover their tuition costs and student housing through part time jobs at our organization and local partners.

Our work-study program allows students to pursue and secure professional careers in the following fields: health care, education, engineering, business, marketing, and communications, and social sciences.

Our organization has offered scholarships to more than 120 students (including both local and international participants).

Infrastructure Development

In partnership with the United States Department of Commerce, Economic Development Administration (EDA), we are in the final phase of renovation of the Northeast corner lot on Sunland Blvd and Penrose Avenue.
