Oakland Leaf

At Oakland Leaf, we believe love is an action. Love is empowering youth to be creative and expressive leaders. Love is sparking curiosity in the minds of our students, from arts and literacy to S.T.E.M. and sports. Love is building community, talking, listening, and being present for each other. Love is woven into the fabric of our culture, and every interaction in pursuit of supporting youth in our community. We plant seeds to grow. We root in, rise up, and branch out. We’re committed to stay.

OUR MISSION: Cultivate community transformation through creative education for youth and families.

OUR VISION: Embolden youth and families to be creative leaders, who create a more loving, just, and vibrant Oakland.
