Semillas Community Center.
Located in the heart of Pomona, California, with the purpose of bringing our local community together.
Semillas means “seeds”
And that's exactly what we plant.
Who We Are
We are a community-rooted nonprofit transforming a historic space in Pomona, California into a vibrant hub for education, creativity, and empowerment. At the intersection of art, agriculture, technology, and local action, Semillas Community Center exists to cultivate opportunity where it's needed most.
Quienes Somos

Nurturing growth
Of people, of ideas, of futures.
Our Mission
Our mission is simple but powerful: to nurture growth—of people, of ideas, of futures. Whether through digital literacy classes, urban farming initiatives, youth internships, or micro-enterprise incubators, we believe in creating access, sparking confidence, and building systems that serve the community—not the other way around.
We're not just another nonprofit. We're neighbors, mentors, organizers, artists, and dreamers. We're building something new, together — a space where young people thrive, families connect, and the seeds of a better future are planted every day.
Nuestra Misión
Nuestra misión es simple pero poderosa: impulsar el crecimiento de las personas, de las ideas y del futuro. Ya sea a través de clases de alfabetización digital, iniciativas de agricultura urbana, pasantías para jóvenes o incubadoras de microempresas, creemos en crear acceso, generar confianza y construir sistemas que sirvan a la comunidad, no al revés.
No somos una organización sin fines de lucro más. Somos vecinos, mentores, organizadores, artistas y soñadores. Construimos algo nuevo, juntos: un espacio donde los jóvenes prosperan, las familias se conectan y se siembran las semillas de un futuro mejor cada día.
"Semillas is powered by people. Planted in Pomona. Growing everywhere."

The Pomona Education Dashboard
Semillas has created an accountability system for K-12 schools in California. The dashboard provides easy-to-read reports on multiple measures of school success, from test scores to graduation rates — helping parents, educators, and communities identify a school's strengths, challenges, and areas needing improvement.
