SPACE AT ST. JOHN’S

 

Come to St. John’s on any given day and you’ll see that St. John’s Center welcomes and supports a variety of uses, from education to self help groups to lectures and lively music productions. The Center at St. John’s is a valued community resource providing space for non-profit organizations to hold classes, hold meetings, celebrate events, conduct spiritual activities and listen to music. We are a popular venue for classical music (European and Indian), chamber groups, choirs, and other musical offerings. We are also a popular wedding venue, especially for many Cal grads.

With the exception of Weddings, space is available to non-profit organizations only. We must have a copy of the organization’s 501 © 3 not for profit tax status letter on file. We also require a certificate of insurance, naming St. John’s as an additional insured (minimum coverage of $1Million) for the date of events held on our site. The insurance agent for the non-profit can issue these.
