Inspiring Women in the Bay Area

Chestnut is a non-profit center for women whose mission is to educate and inspire women to work well and with purpose in their profession. It offers programs for women of all ages and backgrounds. These programs are founded on the Christian understanding of the dignity of the human person and the importance of ordinary work.

​

The Christian orientation of Chestnut Center is entrusted to Opus Dei, a personal prelature of the Roman Catholic Church. Founded in 1928 by St. Josemaría Escrivá, Opus Dei helps people seek holiness in their daily work and in their family and social life.
