Activesgv Information

Active San Gabriel Valley (ActiveSGV) is a community-based environmental justice and public health non-profit headquartered in the City of El Monte. Our mission is to create a more sustainable, equitable, and livable San Gabriel Valley. We envision a San Gabriel Valley where people of all ages, incomes, abilities, and backgrounds have the opportunity to thrive. Where decision-making accounts for the needs of current and future generations. Where local and regional investments help address our most pressing challenges, including the climate crisis, housing affordability, and inequity. Where elected leadership reflects and accurately represents one of the United States’ most diverse regions. Where communities pilot best practices in public policy, health, sustainability, and governance. The San Gabriel Valley is stronger through the creation of quality jobs, living wages, employment mobility, a strong economy, clean water and air, accessible parks, stable and affordable housing, safe and efficient transportation, and a healthy built environment that supports sustainability. As such, ActiveSGV is committed to diversity, equity, inclusion, and access in our work, aiming to eliminate barriers so our communities can lead happier, healthier lives. As part of our commitment to gender equality, mental health and wellbeing, and the environment, ActiveSGV has instituted a flexible 32 hour work week for all employees. ActiveSGV strives to make our commitment evident across all levels: in our organizational structure, policies, advisory board, staff, volunteers, donors, goals, and vision. We welcome people of all backgrounds and aim to maintain a culture of respect, openness, learning, integrity, honesty, and a sense of fun.
