About Us

Goggles on, everyone! It’s time to wave our magic thermometer and say labracadabra. Poof, a periodic table of fun appears for 2024! A wonder-filled exploration begins now in the science lab that is Rancho Cordova.

Who are we?

The Cordova Community Council was founded in 1959 as an “organization of organizations,” a forum for citizens to meet, dream about the future and plan community celebrations like fireworks on the Fourth of July.


The legacy of mutual support and collaboration nurtured by the Cordova Community Council has become a hallmark of Rancho Cordova community life for more than six decades and has earned our reputation as a place of collaboration and innovation.


Together with the City of Rancho Cordova and many community partners, the Cordova Community Council has continued to spread its wings to help Rancho Cordova soar to even greater heights. That effort was recognized in 2010, and again in 2019, when Rancho Cordova was named an “All-America City” by the National Civic League when we demonstrated that “We Make the Magic!”


The Cordova Community Council Foundation is recognized by the federal government as a 501(c)3 public benefit non-profit organization. We are headquartered within Rancho Cordova City Hall. Our “can do” spirit is reflected in the inspiring work of our many member organizations and active citizen and business members.


Our spirited, high-quality community events, passionate art and history experiences, and “all in” attitude toward improving youth sports continue into 2024. Connect with citizens and customers in every sector of our magnetic city where community life is out of this world... and always fun. Grab your lab coat and join us for what inventions await!
