Our Story
Community leaders in San Jose founded Third Street Community Center (TSCC) in 1997. Spearheaded by the then Reverend Lindi Ramsden from the First Unitarian Church of San Jose, her passion for social justice brought together a multi-disciplinary team of key stakeholders who shared her vision of creating a more equitable community for all. This group included community members, city leaders, elected officials, public health representatives, educators, business leaders, and more.
In 1998, Third Street was incorporated as a non-denominational non-profit organization. The first year of operation was accomplished with the support of volunteers from the First Unitarian Church of San Jose many of whom provided their time, talent, and service to help build our programs. Since this humble origin, Third Street has served over 5,000 economically and socially disadvantaged children and individuals. Today, Third Street is a well-respected agency and a leader in serving under resourced children living and going to school in high risk communities in Silicon Valley.
