Golden Gate Center for Enrichment

HISTORY

In the heart of the Golden Gate neighborhood in Stuart stands a gem:  The historic Golden Gate building. The building is treasured by the community as an important landmark that connects the neighborhood to its past.  The Mission-style Golden Gate building was built in 1925 and had several identities before it fell into disrepair in 1959.

Fast forward to present day, a collaboration of local agencies and funders have worked to transform the historic building into the Golden Gate Center for Enrichment. While House of Hope is managing the building and all of its operations, the synergy from various partners will provide the community with programs, classes, trainings, technology, and information sessions designed to enhance life skills, earning potential, health and overall well-being.
