On The Move is proud to announce it has been selected as a 2021 California Nonprofit of the Year by Assemblymember Cecilia Aguiar-Curry. On The Move is one of more than one hundred nonprofits that will be honored by their state senators and assemblymembers for their tremendous contributions to the communities they serve.
