Executive Director
Dr. Sonja Yates joined the efforts of San Gabriel Valley Habitat for Humanity in 2004. Since that time the affiliate has grown in house production, fundraising, visibility, and capacity. ReStore (Builders Surplus Store) revenues have increased fivefold since FY 2004.
Sonja’s 15 years as Superintendent of Schools in Rancho Cucamonga’s Central School District prepared her well for the vast and challenging responsibilities of the Executive Director position. She works enthusiastically and tirelessly for our mission and cause. Under her leadership San Gabriel Valley Habitat for Humanity is changing many lives and building stronger communities!
