Oakland Leaf Foundation

Oakland Leaf empowers youth with the confidence to explore life with curiosity and excitement, advocate for themselves and their community, and catalyze change as leaders. They run comprehensive after-school programs at six elementary and middle schools across East Oakland that emphasize: arts and culture, health and wellness, empowerment and leadership, and having fun. They provide high school internships focused on gardening and youth development. The paid internship collaborates with their after-school programs to provide intergenerational learning, and professional and leadership development opportunities.
