We Love Long Beach's mission statement is to Know and Serve the People, the Neighborhoods and the City of Long Beach. The two-fold process of knowing and serving is the backbone of WLLBÍs progress in the city. The partnerships and efforts we make begin with a commitment to learn first and identify the strengths and possibilities in a given area. In our experience, effective service is the natural bi-product of understanding and sincere commitment. Long Beach has nearly 1,000 nonprofit, charity and community based organizations. We recognize and celebrate the legacy of those faithful people who have been, and currently are, working to benefit the quality of life in each area of the city. For our part, We Love Long Beach has chosen to concentrate on three things: Education, Neighborhoods and Partnership.
