The Stride Center
is significantly impacting the lives and communities of hundreds of deserving adults
transforming their lives through education, experience and employment.
Graduates of the Stride Center go on to become self-sufficient members of society
leading meaningful, productive lives that are positively impacting their families and
communities.
Since 1999, our success is recognized and the training is needed. Organizations and communities in the bay area and beyond have invited us to bring our training to them.
We are expanding and invite you to get involved.
