To Know & Serve the People, the Neighborhoods & the City of Long Beach, CA.
The two-fold process of knowing and serving is the backbone of WLLB’s progress in the city. The partnerships and efforts we make begin with a commitment to learn first and identify the strengths and possibilities in a given area. In our experience, effective service is the natural bi-product of understanding and sincere commitment.
Long Beach has nearly 1,000 nonprofit, charity and community based organizations. We recognize and celebrate the legacy of those faithful people who have been, and currently are, working to benefit the quality of life in each area of the city. For our part, We Love Long Beach has chosen to concentrate on three things:
Education
We Love Long Beach will actively promote service learning in every Long Beach high school. Through in-class presentations, campus clubs, student lead service events and a formal curriculum, our goal is that students will grow to understand how their interests and innate giftings can make a difference in the lives of others.
Neighborhoods
We will host service focused, community events in each of the city’s nine districts. These events will promote strong relationships between neighbors and celebrate the communities in which they take place.
Partnership
We will form strategic partnerships with like-minded individuals, organizations, civic leaders and businesses who view their time and resources as an opportunity to serve others. Partnerships are essential to everything we do. They provide the ongoing education and support required to understand the possibilities in the city and the proactive role we can play to address them.
