Boys & Girls Clubs of Oakland

The purpose of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Oakland is to develop our community's youth into positive contributors to society. To accomplish our purpose, we provide programs and services that are tailored to the needs of today's youth and supplementary to the endeavors of families, our schools, and other community-based organizations. Like the national organization, we are dedicated to providing services to girls and boys from all backgrounds, with special consideration for those from disadvantaged circumstances. Locally, we provide safe places to learn and grow, ongoing relationships with caring adult professionals, life-enhancing programs, character development experiences, hope, and opportunity for over 2,500 girls and boys ages 6 to 17 each year.
