Comite Civico Del Valle

What Comite Civico Del Valle does

Comite Civico del Valle (CCV) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 1987 and headquartered in Brawley, California, that delivers community-based health, environmental justice, and clean-energy programs to disadvantaged communities in Imperial County. Its core technical platform is the IVAN Air Monitoring Network, comprising approximately 40 validated air quality monitors measuring PM2.5 and PM10 across Imperial County neighborhoods, with data quality-controlled against regulatory-grade equipment and exposed via a publicly accessible near-real-time platform. Programs span asthma intervention (Respira Sano home visiting, Asthma Management Academy training of 752+ CHWs since 2018), community-owned EV charging infrastructure (Level 2 and Level 3 / 180 kW chargers in Calexico, Brawley, Calipatria, and El Centro), extreme heat mitigation (Taking on the Heat with SDSU), workforce development (CWOP, California Jobs First / Southern Border Coalition), and environmental advocacy including the Lithium Valley Impacts Monitoring Tool being developed with Tracking California and the Toxic-metal TARTA monitoring project with UC Davis.

CCV generates essentially no commercial revenue; all programs are offered free of charge to community residents. Operations are funded through grants and partnerships with state agencies (California Air Resources Board, California Department of Industrial Relations, CalEPA), federal agencies (U.S. EPA), academic institutions (UC Davis, University of Washington, SDSU, Tracking California, Public Health Institute), and binational partners (CERCA, Binational Environmental Justice Coalition, Baja California State Energy Commission, UABC). The go-to-market motion is community-led: trained community health workers (promotoras) conduct door-to-door home visiting, group education sessions (platicas), and community events reaching a population that is over 85% Latino, with bilingual English/Spanish delivery. As of 2026 CCV serves as a designated local implementation partner for statewide initiatives (DCAP, Access Clean California, CWOP) and as a co-convener of the Southern Border Coalition, positioning it as both a service provider and a regional strategic convener on environmental justice, lithium extraction impacts, and clean-energy transition issues.

Product overview
