Community Partners of Antelope Valley
Empowering residents. Restoring community. Building futures.
Our Mission
Community Partners of Antelope Valley (COPA AV) empowers residents through hands-on learning, community service, and environmental stewardship.
We bridge education, youth engagement, and volunteerism creating pathways for youth and adults to gain real-world skills, meet civic or benefits requirements, and make a visible difference in the Antelope Valley.
Building Skills. Strengthening Community. Restoring the Valley.
Our integrated approach recognizes that community transformation happens when individuals are equipped with the tools they need to succeed. Through partnerships with local government, businesses, and community organizations, we're building a network of support that extends far beyond the classroom.
Every program we offer is designed with real-world impact in mind. Whether participants are learning job skills, earning service hours, or restoring neighborhood spaces, they're developing confidence, competence, and connection to their community.
COPA AV serves as a bridge between aspiration and achievement, providing the structure, mentorship, and opportunities that transform lives and neighborhoods throughout the Antelope Valley.
