Every person thrives, every voice matters. That is the vision of EAST side neighborhood services. Our mission is to build pathways toward equity by disrupting social and economic barriers. We are called to assist people to envision a future of hope and prosperity by providing fundamental learning blocks, connecting to broader social and economic networks, preparing for today's job market through placement and supports, and ensuring people are healthy, stable, and engaged. EAST side's goals reflect its CORE priorities: that people have the stability that they need to thrive; children and youth foster curiosity and autonomy through educational pathways; older adults are valued, socially and intellectually engaged, and ABLE to live in community; families build foundations for healing and growth; and our community has a place to be, HEAL, and learn together. We pursue these goals through programs and services that SPAN generations and neighborhoods.
