OVER 135 YEARS OF EMPOWERMENT

Programs That Uplift Our Community

We provide women and teens with the knowledge and skills to manage their finances independently in order to make informed financial decisions.

We serves as a free space for community members to attend workshops to move, breathe, destress, and ground themselves in the love of our community.

Arts and Culture

We deliver culturally responsive arts programming - classes, residencies, and public events - in partnership with schools, grassroots groups, and local artists.

We provide the critical support and resources our community needs to gain a job or move up in their career or current employment.

We advocate against oppression based on gender or race, and fight for equal protections.

Community Resources Drive

We hosts community resource drives throughout the year, providing community members across the East Bay access to essential needs.
