Welcome to Ventura – exclusively inclusive!

Ventura is the people’s neighborhood. Traditionally, Palo Alto’s most affordable neighborhood, Ventura boasts an eclectic mix of home owners, apartment dwellers and vehicle dwellers. Ventura is  the home of Palo Alto’s historic African American & Asian American communities as well as traditional home to Palo Alto’s thriving trades and artist community. 

Here are some of our goals:

  • Emergency Prep – We’re working to make Ventura Ready
  • Having fun
  • Connecting
  • Boulware Park Acquisition and Upgrades
  • Advocacy for Housing for our Missing Middle, Service Workers & Most Vulnerable

Steering Committee Meets 4 times a year

We help organize block parties and pop up dinners. Plus we host a fall social and an summer ice cream social.

As with any organization, we welcome your volunteer time to help keep Ventura a fantastic place to live. Contact Becky Sanders the moderator of VNA for more information rebsanders@venturapaloalto.org

Thank you to the Palo Alto Community Child Care folks for allowing us the use of their DREAM ROOM for our meetings at the Ventura Community Center, 3990 Ventura Court! Also via ZOOM – as WIFI permits.

Social events, advocacy, kids stuff, kids neighborhood newsletter, pet parade, block parties, art fair, fashion show, what’s your idea to build us up this coming year? Come help us plan this year.
