Community Programs

EOBA is the East Oakland Community


We believe healthy people build healthy families and healthy families create healthy communities. We know families are the root of a young person’s support system and we aim to magnify that support and be a partner for our families in building up our youth.

Our Community Programming

By providing community services, we make the community a place where more people can thrive, including our young people. We also provide an example that living a life of wellness is not a selfish endeavor, but requires the connectivity and collaboration of all community members to be successful.

Town Nights

Free Summer Friday Night Events

Town Nights — a series of free summer Friday evening events — offer safe spaces for community to come together and enjoy free food, music, games, and more.

Bringing Community Together

Town Nights are community-driven and multi-generational, promoting violence prevention and fostering unity.

Family / Community Support

Making Families Part of the Solution

Supporting families enables young people to bring their full selves to EOBA every day and for them to fully benefit from the holistic programming we offer.

Tapping into the Teachers at Home

By making families a part of EOBA, we increase each young person’s chance to truly be transformed and to impart change in others and their environment.

Food Pantry

Working to End a Food Desert

Beautiful buildings alone do not transform struggling communities. Given the right tools, all families and communities have the potential to flourish. 

Feeding East Oakland Families

In order to help families weather tough economic times, EOBA distributes healthy groceries through our community food pantry.

Without our village, there is no way we can build the champions on our own
