Eden Youth and Family Center
Eden Youth and Family Center, originally named Eden Youth Center, began providing services in 1977. It was originally located at the Kimball Elementary School site in North Hayward. In 1979, the center moved to its current location in South Hayward, 680 W. Tennyson Road, former Tennyson Elementary School site, an area of high family density and predominately low-income families. The agency changed its name to Eden Youth and Family Center in 1998 to reflect its commitment to serving children, youth and their families.
Our programs provides summer youth employment opportunities and year-round educational and employment opportunities to foster care and youth on probation, ages 14-19. Youth participating on this program can be on GPS, have been convicted, and are at-risk. Since we work with minors we required adults to go through a TB test and a Fingerprint scan.
