WHAT WE DO

A Greater Applegate (AGA) is the community building organization serving the Applegate Valley.  Our mission is to build community by sustaining and enhancing local connections that promote the environmental, economic and social vitality of the Applegate Valley.  AGA learns about area priorities using listening sessions, surveys and other forms of outreach and works in partnership to address local needs and opportunities. We like to say that A Greater Applegate is a place where community values, community vision, and community voices lead to community action.  Click on the Community Connections tab to learn more.

I have lived in the Applegate Valley for over 20 years, and have been involved in several ongoing community conversations around the need for some sort of organization that could be an advocate for this special place. It became clear that intelligent, long-term planning to address our shared ecological, social and economic concerns would require commitment, stability, and a capacity to connect with a wide range of local and regional stakeholders....This project would necessarily include a need for increased funding to support paid staff positions, which would help to create continuity of project management and the ability to create a long-term vision for a truly sustainable Applegate Valley. It has been very satisfying to see GACDC (now AGA) take on this mission, and I look forward to seeing what our community can achieve.

It’s very rewarding to unite good people in a community. The effort to keep people focused on the end goal and the ensuing benefits of working together is a big job. I wish you all the best and I’m proud to be a member of this fine organization.
