At the heart is a multi-million-dollar campaign effort to raise monies for capital improvements not just the potential expansion of our Community Center, but also the critical upgrades and revitalization of our existing spaces to better serve the needs of those who The San Fernando Valley Japanese American Community Center is meeting a new goal with energy and enthusiasm to revitalize and make improvements to the current Community Center.
This capital campaign represents the largest initiative in the history of the San Fernando Valley Japanese American Community Center. We are excited to build on our current local and community programs and services, while expanding our offerings ensuring they align with the evolving needs of our future members and the community.
Project Nozomi is a bold strategic plan that was developed by the future planning committee after surveys and studies that indicate that the time is now. Fundraising for a regulation size basketball court, classrooms and cultural arts center for workshops and performances have already begun with pledges, donations, and securities.
