Center for Human Development

Center for Human Development (CHD) is a community-based organization that offers a spectrum of services for at-risk youth, individuals, families, and communities in the Bay Area. We began serving Contra Costa County schools with an alcohol and drug prevention program in 1972 and incorporated it as a general nonprofit in California in 1978. We provide wellness programs and support to empower people and promote positive growth. Our dedicated staff and several hundred volunteers create and deliver programs and services addressing wellness, youth leadership, conflict resolution, parenting skills, and other community challenges. Our volunteers work side-by-side with our staff to deliver quality programs in schools and community sites throughout Contra Costa County. Our administrative and program headquarters is in Concord with an additional program office in Antioch.
