About Us

Community is our middle name, and it’s at the heart of everything we do.

Since its founding, the purpose of the Sonoma Community Center has been to build community by offering opportunities for our neighbors to connect, learn, and grow – together. Driven by this goal, our promise to the Sonoma Valley community today is to create a Center of Belonging on our campus – and this strategic plan is our roadmap to getting there. We envision a campus where people of all ages, races, gender identities, sexual orientations, language backgrounds, artistic talents, income levels, interests, and more feel not just welcome, but at home. A place where everyone finds something to suit their needs. To that end, this plan outlines strategies that will help us build sustainable systems, lower access barriers, establish authentic and engaged relationships with our community, and develop community-responsive programs.

We pursue this purpose by providing the kinds of spaces and activities that invite people to connect, learn, and create together. We:

• Offer a broad variety of classes for people of all ages and all abilities;
• Host creative community events; and
• Provide space for community groups and activities.
