Herman Sanchez Community Center proudly serves families from East San Jose Elementary, with staff walking students to and from our program, and Washington Middle School through safe bus stop pickups. Weekly activities include open pickleball (Mon 6–8 PM), volleyball (Tue/Thu), and basketball (Wed). Beginning in October, we will also offer ESL classes every Wednesday evening from 6–8 PM. Our center provides a warm, welcoming space where youth, families, and community members can stay active, build friendships, and learn together. Community center memberships are free, call today to see how to get signed up!
