Through its actions, EAG strives to achieve community strength and cohesion centered around a vibrant and active commercial corridor in the San Francisco Excelsior Neighborhood
Our Mission
Our mission sounds simple: To Revitalize the San Francisco Excelsior Neighborhood's Commercial Corridor by involving residents, merchants, neighborhood associations and city agencies through activities aimed to reinvigorate, green, beautify, strengthen and unify our diverse community.
We are a volunteer-driven community based organization that leads and implements a variety of community projects. We like to think that the ACTION in Excelsior Action Group remains true today as it was in 2002 when neighbors got together to address issues of blight, economic inequality, and disinvestment. Today, we continue to respond to our community's ideas, projects and energy around our neighborhood's economic viability and diversity. But we can't do it alone.
EAG has chosen to pursue its mission by providing support for local merchants and through our community development projects. We define the Excelsior's commercial corridor as the section of Mission Street between Silver Avenue and Geneva Avenue in San Francisco. Like any neighborhood, there are a lot of ways EAG could improve the area. With our limited resources, we have chosen to focus only on this section of Mission Street so as to maximize our visible impact.
