Description
Oakland Leaf’s mission is community transformation through creative education for youth and families. Working in partnership with Oakland Unified School District (OUSD), we provide a series of free, innovative programs that give students with limited economic resources access to the tools they need to achieve academic success and develop into thoughtful, creative citizens. Oakland Leaf’s innovative programs and services aim to feed the minds, bodies, and spirits of low-income youth and families in Oakland. Our programs include five comprehensive after-school programs for elementary and middle school students, a wrap-around family resource center, a nationally recognized high school leadership and media arts fellowship program, school-based community garden and ecology programs, an All Oakland Youth Talent Showcase, and a three-week arts, leadership, and social justice education summer camp called Oakland Peace Camp. Oakland Leaf has grown to serve over 1,100 students and families annually, guided by our credo, “Love is an action!”
