Community Partners
Project Peace partners with East Bay Social Service Providers and Agencies in an effort to help them become sustainable and effective in fulfilling their missions. We do this by helping Social Service partners identify their needs, and then we help them meet these needs through connecting them with volunteer (and occasionally financial) resources.
We welcome volunteers at any of these service opportunities. If you are interested in volunteering, please contact Jen McKillips, Project Peace Executive Director, at jen@projectpeaceeastbay.org.
If you are a Social Service Provider or agency and are interested in partnering with Project Peace, please contact Jen McKillips, Project Peace Executive Director, at jen@projectpeaceeastbay.org or 510-402-5060.
