🚨 Our Annual Report is HERE! 🚨 Hey Oakland Leaf community! As we reflect on the 2023-2024 school year, we are overflowing with pride and gratitude for our incredible community. This past year has been nothing short of amazing – from students leading impactful projects, like advocating for an end to violence and making brown bag meals for the unhoused, to winning the 2024 Oakland Poetry Slam at Cleveland Elementary and EnCompass Academy! 🎤🏆 Our interns are developing their skills, giving back, and making a HUGE difference—like when they volunteered to package 1,300 pasta salads for the Feed the Hood Event with Community Kitchens! Our Annual Report is full of these stories, plus more moments of joy and growth. Dive in to see all the ways our youth are stepping up as leaders and change-makers! A big much love to our generous community partners, donors, and funders for making this all possible. Together, we’re creating spaces where Oakland youth thrive! 🌱✨ Check it out now and celebrate the magic with us! 🎉 https://lnkd.in/gdTeN4RF #OaklandLeaf #YouthEmpowerment #CommunityTransformation #AnnualReport20232024 #MakingAnImpact #OaklandYouth

As the school year kicks off, we're all about that afterschool magic! Our programs are the perfect blend of fun and growth, focusing on the social-emotional health of our students. Whether they're expressing themselves through poetry and drawing, kicking up some fun in soccer, or getting their hands dirty in the garden and theater arts, there's something for everyone to explore and enjoy! These activities aren’t just about having a blast—they’re about building life skills that stick. From leading community projects to shining in academics, our students are growing into confident leaders with a strong sense of belonging and pride. We’re here to make sure every kid feels supported, valued, and ready to shine all year long! 🌟👩🎨🎭⚽🌱 www.oaklandleaf.org #SEL #Oaklandleaf #BackToSchool #AfterschoolFun #StudentLeaders #ShineBright
