About us
Since its founding by the city of Rancho Palos Verdes in 1984, Los Serenos de Point Vicente docents and volunteers have provided interpretive and educational services to the community regarding the unique features and natural and cultural history of the Palos Verdes Peninsula and adjacent waters. As a nonprofit dedicated to making the world a better place, we see the inherent value in creating opportunities for people from all walks of life. Our volunteer ranks include legal and medical professionals, engineers, principals, teachers and homemakers. We believe every individual brings value to our organization and that diversity introduces new perspectives and experiences to the workforce. This results in a highly compatible organization that provides a wealth of information to students and adults who visit the Interpretive Center and participate in our numerous other educational programs and community events.
