About EBAC

The East Bay for Children (EBAC) was founded in 1952 by local parents. Since then we have grown from a small program serving 18 children into a comprehensive regional agency making a lasting impact on more than 12,000 children and families every year.

EBAC improves health, offers hope and provides opportunities to children and families. Our innovative programs, located throughout Alameda County, prepare children to succeed in school; assist families through times of crisis; and provide therapeutic support to children who have suffered from abuse and/or neglect.

For over 50 years, EBAC has maintained a reputation of excellence in the services we provide. Our mental health services, violence prevention workshops, after-school academic and enrichment activities, case management and family support services are recognized as state and national models. This integrated approach addresses core issues at the heart of the challenges facing our communities and provides excellent, culturally significant programs that serve our children.

Mission Statement
EBAC is dedicated to assuring the health and educational well being of children and families through specialized therapeutic, educational and peer support.

Vision
We strive to be the recognized leader in giving children and families throughout the Bay Area hope, health, and opportunity. Our nurturing child-focused enrichment, education, peer support, and mental health programs are increasingly seen as state and national models. Our goal is to be a service provider and employer of choice by embracing the values of excellence, diversity, respect, compassion, and partnership.
