In addition to developing our own programs, the Beth Eden Foundation will address issues of vital importance to our community by using this website to direct community members to existing programs that target special concerns, such as aging, human trafficking, mental health, homelessness, veterans, children, and the arts.
Senior Forum
Learn about the ASSETS Senior Employment Opportunities Program, which has helped to train and prepare mature adults for entry or re-entry into the competitive labor market. Eligible participants can receive paid work experience as a Senior Aide at training sites in non-profit or government agencies. They can also receive individual career counseling, classroom training in job retention skills, and the services of local One-Stop career resource centers.
Human Trafficking
Learn about the Alameda County District Attorney’s Human Exploitation And Trafficking (H.E.A.T.) Unit and how they work to combat the scourge of human trafficking. Learn how you can help protect our children.
Mental Health
West Oakland Health Council offers mental health services for children and adolescents, as well as adults. Visit their website for more information, or call (510) 465-1800, extension 2050.
Kids Corner
We are looking for programs that can bring new opportunities to children in Oakland. Beth Eden Foundation believes that we must invest heavily in our future, but we must invest wisely. We begin by studying the work of successful innovators and educators who have preceded us.
The Arts
We are currently seeking volunteers for the new Family Life Center. Arts activities will be a core part of our program.
