Alianza Coachella Valley

Alianza Coachella Valley's mission is to transform the socio-economic conditions of the Coachella Valley so that all people in all communities have opportunities to prosper. We envision one vibrant, healthy, and thriving Coachella Valley where people have a seat at the table for decisions that affect their daily lives.

Alianza Coachella Valley exists to reduce the inequities of the Coachella Valley - to build a sense of community, restore dignity in our places and its people, promote agency and self-determination, and amplify the voice of traditionally marginalized people. We do this by building strong local and visionary leadership that collaborates to improve the built environment, eliminates punitive school practices, and increases civic participation. In short, Alianza is the backbone organization for the only alliance of residents and non-profit groups working for systems and policy change in the Coachella Valley.

Since 2010, Alianza (previously Building Healthy Communities Coachella Valley) has helped residents of the Eastern Coachella Valley apply their determined spirit and strong work ethic to campaigns that enrich their community.
