Oakland Leaf Foundation

Oakland Leaf spurs creative and educational growth for Oakland youth by providing programs that cultivate critical thinking skills, emphasize socioemotional learning opportunities, and support authentic leadership development. They facilitate dynamic after-school programs for K-8 students at six high need schools: Ascend, Bret Harte, Encompass Academy, International Community School, Learning Without Limits, and Think College Now. Oakland Leaf youth created intentional communities, experienced new creative experiences, and developed confidence in their unique voice.
