Donate to EOYDC: Empower the Future of East Oakland Youth

Your support transforms lives. Since 1978, the East Oakland Youth Development Center (EOYDC) has been a cornerstone for young people in our community, nurturing their development from kindergarten to adulthood. Your donation helps us provide vital programs that prepare our youth for academic, career, and life success while addressing systemic challenges like intergenerational poverty, displacement, and violence.

 

Why Give?

 

EOYDC’s holistic approach ensures that every child we serve has the tools to succeed not only in school but also in life. With programs spanning arts, wellness, careers, and education, we inspire creativity, promote well-being, and create pathways to prosperous futures.

 

    • Free access to transformative programs: From after-school support to paid internships, every program is offered at no cost to the families we serve.

 

    • Our Cascading Mentorship Model: A nationally recognized approach where older youth mentor younger participants, creating a ripple effect of empowerment.

 

    • Impactful partnerships: We collaborate with schools and community organizations to meet young people where they are, ensuring seamless support.

    • Supporting over 1000  youth annually through programs that support ages 5-26.

 

    • Offering young adults resources to earn diplomas, explore careers, and secure internships.
