Mission Statement
The purpose of Bernal Heights Neighborhood Center is to preserve and enhance the ethnic, cultural and economic diversity and well-being of the Bernal Heights community.
We work to build a strong community for all, with a focus on the needs of low and moderate-income people. We do this by providing services to support and increase opportunities for seniors, youth and others most at-risk; by preserving and expanding access to affordable housing; and by building the neighborhood's power and capacity to achieve these goals.
We commit to being a provider of essential services, a builder of community, and a force for organizing neighborhood change.

Volunteer opportunities include giving rides to weekday appointments and shopping, being a friendly visitor, minor home repair to enhance safety, facilitating activities and classes for active seniors.
