What Is the Purpose of the VBCCO:

Welcome to the Virginia Beach Council of Civic Organizations (VBCCO), a cornerstone of community engagement since its establishment in 1959. Founded by concerned citizens, the VBCCO stands as an educational organization and a vital link between neighborhood Civic Organizations and the Virginia Beach City Government. Today, the VBCCO is a dynamic force, serving as an information gathering group dedicated to representing our Member Civic Organizations. Our mission is rooted in fostering collaboration and unity among Civic Organizations throughout the city. The stated purpose of the VBCCO is multi-faceted:
  • Creating a Forum for Collaboration: We strive to establish a forum where Civic Organizations can work together to educate, inform, and empower civic leaders. Through collaboration, we aim to support and assist member organizations, advocating for stronger neighborhoods collectively.
  • Organizing and Supporting: The VBCCO is committed to helping organize neighborhood Civic Organizations and providing unwavering support to member organizations when called upon. Our goal is to unite Virginia Beach neighborhoods for the common good.
  • Studying and Discussing: We actively engage in studying and discussing important issues and problems affecting our community. Our collective efforts are geared towards finding mutually agreeable solutions that enhance the quality of life for residents.
  • Providing a Platform for Discourse: The VBCCO provides a platform for the discussion and debate of current topics. Through educational programs, we empower member organizations to better serve their residents, fostering a community that is well-informed and engaged.
We express our gratitude for your interest and extend an invitation to your Civic Organization or Homeowners Association (HOA) to join us in the important work of educating and informing the community. Together, we can create a stronger, more vibrant Virginia Beach.
