East Bay Community Space is committed to the following goals:
- Create inclusive, non-market-based social space.
- Partner with organizations dedicated to social justice, the arts, and community empowerment.
- Provide a low-cost venue for cultural events, workshops, classes, performance, and gatherings.
East Bay Community Space operates on the following principles:
- Inclusiveness. EBCS is open to everyone and welcomes people of all ages, ethnicities, religious backgrounds, and genders.
- Openness. EBCS offers access to unprogrammed space for a portion of every day.
- Fees According to Means. We offer sliding scale pricing so that the space is affordable to those with lower means, and so those with higher means pay their fair share.
- Do-acracy: EBCS encourages community members to take initiative to organize programs and events. We offer discounted rates for first-time events held at EBCS.
- Not-for-Profit Operations. EBCS does not seek to earn a profit. Any surplus will be reinvested in EBCS or donated to other community groups.
