OUR MISSION & VISION
The Brighter Beginnings mission to “support healthy births and successful development of children by partnering with parents and helping to build strong communities“, gains its strength and aspiration from our core belief and vision that, Every family matters, and every child deserves a happy, healthy future.”
OUR HISTORY
Brighter Beginnings is a 501c3 nonprofit organization, and has been responding to the needs of families in resource-poor neighborhoods since 1984 when our work began in response to the alarming differences in mortality and illness rates among African American babies compared to other children.
Brighter Beginnings has grown into a respected and well-connected organization with locations in Oakland, Richmond, Bay Point, Antioch. We have a multi-cultural, bi-lingual staff of passionate and committed family-service professionals; in fact, many of our staff came to this work because of challenges they faced in their own families
