EIKON has acquired a three-level, 11,000 square foot property within District 3 on Telegraph AVE (2505 Telegraph AVE, Oakland, CA 94612).  We plan to leverage this property as a multipurpose empowerment facility that provides the following services to the most vulnerable:

• As a multipurpose events facility that hosts church gatherings, concerts and community events. EIKON plans to use jobs created by these gatherings as work opportunities for individuals participating in program.

• An emergency shelter facility that can provide families and individuals in crisis 1) short-term safe haven shelter 2) job training, educational resourcing (i.e. computer lab, coding school, resume training) and 3) economic empowerment resources.

• A proposed recreation center development that would provide physical health and wellness resources for fitness, fun and personal life transformation for vulnerable adults and in-risk youth.

• A commercial kitchen for culinary training, community meals, and a donation-based cafe. 

EIKON provides structure and trained staff that can equip beneficiaries:

• Spiritual well being - trauma informed support, personal needs assessment and recovery support.

• Mentorship - EIKON provides job training, professional counseling, resume building and one on one coaching for program participants.

• Leadership training which guides participants dealing with marred identity into a healthy view of self and vision of life in all its fullness.

We are developing the following spaces and are seeking partners to help us complete this vision:

• Community Kitchen

• Recreation Center
