St. Mary’s Center is a community of hope, justice, and healing that serves at-risk seniors and preschoolers in the heart of Oakland. We strive to improve quality of life through counseling, housing, nutrition, advocacy and social support. An independent non-profit social service organization with headquarters and five service locations along the San Pablo Avenue corridor in West Oakland, St. Mary’s Center provides basic needs and offers hope to more than 1,000 Seniors and 40 Preschool families every year. Services include: • 41 units of transitional housing • Counseling, case management, and housing navigation • Money management and advocacy • Full-day Preschool St. Mary’s Center can trace our roots back to 1939 and community programs initiated by the Sisters of Social Service. A 1973 survey by Oakland Community Organizations helped direct our plans to serve Preschool Families and Seniors with education, nutrition, counseling and social services. Following the 1989 earthquake, we expanded our services to unhoused Seniors and created a portfolio of 41 units of transitional housing that support Seniors in their journey home. We’re thankful for the energy, generosity, and support of the hundreds of volunteers that work with us annually. We’re proud to be a part of the giving and receiving that these volunteers and our program participants share, enabling us to continue offering comprehensive services to our most vulnerable community members. Our staff include professionals and paraprofessionals in the fields of social work, community organizing, public policy and administration. Visit our website for career opportunities.
