At Ala Costa Centers, we have always been committed to providing inclusive and accessible educational opportunities for our community of children and adults with developmental and intellectual disabilities. Our building at 1300 Rose Street in Berkeley has been a hub of learning, growth, and community engagement for all Ala Costa students and participants. We have taken significant steps towards improving our services, and we would like to introduce you to our latest project: the creation of an ADA-compliant universally designed kitchen.

As part of our participation in Giving Tuesday on Tuesday, November 28, we are launching a month-long GoFundMe campaign with a goal to raise $12,000 to update all the appliances for this newly designed kitchen. When it's completed, this kitchen will be a centerpiece of activity for our services, a place where both our adult students and Berkeley after-school students can learn to cook in an accessible space, all while enhancing the overall beauty of our building.

With ADA-compliant features, we can ensure that every person of all abilities, can participate in cooking classes and various culinary activities, foster increased autonomy and promote empowerment for all our participants. This project is close to our hearts, and we believe it will significantly benefit our students and staff.

We are reaching out to our dedicated supporters because your continued generosity has been vital to our success. All your contributions support us to make a meaningful impact on the lives of our students.

Some fun Arts & Crafts the Berkeley After School program did last month!

Upcoming Community Picnic put on by the Community Advisory Committee with the North Region Selpa!

Come join the fun and meet and connect with new families.

It's been a great Presidents Break with a few of our students that were off!

🌟We went on a nature walk around Berkeley, went and saw the animals at Tilden's Little farm & a hike, Berkeley Marina and Kennedy Grove 🌟

It was great to get outdoors and enjoy the beautiful weather!

Happy Friday!!

It's beginning to look a lot like Valentine's Day around our after school program!! Our big heart was made from a bunch of different hearts the students colored!! Love all the color on this wall ❤

Ever done a Lemon Volcano? The after school program had a blast using Lemons, Baking soda, food coloring and dish soap! So much fun watching and taking about the reaction!
