About East Bay Community Action Program

Our Children and Youth Services offer a range of programs to support the healthy development of children before birth through age 25. Our programs focus on enhancing parent-child relationships, teaching evidence-based curriculum, and building a child's skills. One of our key programs is Baby Steps, which provides parents with the tools they need to understand their child’s development. Through Head Start, Parents as Teachers and Healthy Families of America, children are taught the importance of developing healthy lifestyles as they grow and develop. At East Bay Community Action Program, we strive to make life better for everyone in our community. Our Children and Youth Services provide support to children and parents from before birth through age 25. With a range of programs focused on improving the health, social, and educational outcomes of our children, we are committed to creating a better future for our young community members.
