“To love, care, and live out the love of Jesus in the Farm Drive neighborhood, and to lead children and their families to know and follow Him. ”
About Us
The Farm Drive Neighborhood Center has been serving families in the Farm Drive neighborhood of San Jose since 1992. Our goal is to bring Christ to this neighborhood.
The Center
We are located at 3110 Dakan Court, in apartments #1 and #2 on the bottom floor of the complex.
Want to stop by? Contact Jesse.
Have items to donate? Drop them off in the donation chest at Hillside or, bring them to our table at the Center. We do not take large items like sofas or beds.
Volunteers Needed
Homework Club at Farm Drive needs your help! If you have a heart for students, we would love for you to consider serving with us. We help kids with their homework and engage them in the Gospel. No tutoring experience needed.

What we do
Homework Club
Elementary | M W, 3:30-5:00 PM
Middle & High School | T Th, 4:00-5:30 PM
Many of the children in the neighborhood are the first in their families to attend elementary, middle, and high school. For many, they do not have the support at home to succeed. Our volunteer tutors work with students to help them succeed academically while providing emotional and spiritual support.
Bible Club
Thursdays, 3:30-5:00 PM
Neighborhood kids of all ages meet to play games, eat breakfast, and engage in Bible lessons in small groups. Leaders demonstrate a love for the Lord while challenging children to learn more about faith in tangible ways.
CRAM
Committed. Relational. Accountable. Motivated.
Adult mentors prepare high school students for college or job training. In this incentive-based program, students are rewarded for meeting certain requirements with gift cards, special activities, money, and, when they graduate, a laptop and printer. CRAM is all about building relationships with these students, loving them, helping them succeed, and pointing them to Jesus.
Outings & Activities
We go on retreats with Hillside Students throughout the year. During the summer we go swimming, tour local businesses and have park days. We are always having fun learning. The Center is a safe, stable place when home or going out may not be.
We are always looking for more friends of Farm Drive to join us and spend time getting to know these awesome kids!
