About us
Eastmont Community Center was founded in 1968 by the Disciples of Christ- Christian Church, to enhance the quality of life for children, youth, working adults and seniors in low-income families. Members of the Eastmont Christian Church and local leaders were concerned about the impact of the urban crisis in the Eastmont area of East Los Angeles. As a result, the Eastmont Community Center was born. The center is a 501(c)(3) community-based organization with the goal to provide human, social and educational services to the residents of East Los Angeles and the surrounding communities that promote personal and self-development.
