EBAYC Support all youth be to be safe, smart, and socially responsible. Our mission is to empower young people to lead safe and socially responsible lives.

EBAYC envisions all young people growing up to be lifelong builders of a just and compassionate multicultural society. Working at the intersection of race and place, EBAYC supports all young people who are in low-wealth and high-stress communities where a significant population of Asian youth are present. EBAYC serves a racially and culturally diverse membership of over 2,500 young people each year, of whom the vast majority reside in Oakland’s San Antonio community and in South Sacramento. EBAYC seeks to impact the lives of young people we serve through our implementation of a comprehensive place-based strategy of:
-Supporting young people most impacted by generational poverty,
violence, and forced migration through intensive outreach, life
coaching, and wraparound supports.
-Supporting all young people by providing out-of-school-time
learning opportunities and wraparound supports to young people
and their families, in partnership with neighborhood public
schools.
-​​Supporting all families by improving the quality of life in their
neighborhoods through collective participatory action.

🥕 More Than a Food Pantry. A Place for Community. ❤️

Yesterday, the Garfield Family Resource Center continued doing what it does best—bringing families together and connecting them with essential resources.

With 1,000+ visits for food, clothing, and hygiene products, the center serves as more than a distribution hub. It's also a welcoming space where parents and families can connect, find support, and build community.

Because supporting families isn't just about meeting immediate needs. It's about creating spaces where everyone feels supported. 💛

📸 Take a look at yesterday's pantry in action!

🎉 50 YEARS. 50 FACTS. COUNTLESS STORIES.

This year, EBAYC is celebrating 50 years of community, culture, and impact! ❤️💛

To honor this milestone, we're taking a journey through our history with 50 Years, 50 Facts — a special series highlighting the people, pivotal moments, and milestones that have shaped who we are today.

From our earliest beginnings to the work we're doing today, we'll be sharing stories that celebrate our roots, reflect on our growth, and recognize the community that made it all possible.

📖 First up: Where It All Started.

Follow along as we uncover five decades of history, one fact at a time!

Students at Urban Promise Academy are building their cooking skills through EBAYC's after-school program! 🔪🍳

One of our student chefs shared what he's been learning, from using kitchen tools safely to preparing meals on the stovetop.

With support from EBAYC staff, students are gaining confidence, learning new skills, and having fun in the kitchen! 🧡

Phones down, notebooks open. 📚

Every afternoon, these students at Urban Promise Academy claim a little time that's just theirs. Some days it's knocking out math homework. Some days it's studying for a test. And some days it's just talking: about school, friends, and whatever's on their minds.

The only rule? No phones. What's left is focus, connection, and a space where young people can show up exactly as they are.
This is what after school looks like at EBAYC. ☀️

Small hands, big creativity! 🧺✨

Our third graders in EBAYC’s after-school program at Garfield Elementary got creative making handwoven paper plate baskets during their Practice-Based Learning Block!

Weaving each strip gave students a chance to practice patience, focus, and fine motor skills while turning everyday materials into something uniquely their own. 💙

💙 Celebrating Shop 55!

Last Friday, our Shop 55 Wellness Center at Oakland High School was recognized by Oakland Thrives and Blue Shield of California for the impact it’s making in the lives of Oakland youth!

This recognition celebrates the everyday work of creating a safe, supportive space where students feel seen, supported, and connected to the care and resources they need to thrive.

We’re grateful to our Shop 55 team, our partners, and the community that continues to invest in our young people and believe in their potential.

Thank you, Oakland Thrives and Blue Shield of California, for this wonderful recognition of our work! 🙌🏽

Every great ride starts with the basics. 🛠️🚲

In partnership with , 10 youth in EBAYC’s new Outdoor Recreation Apprenticeship learned bike saety, maintenance, and riding skills before heading outdoors to put them into practice.

This was their first day of training. Over the next couple of months, they’ll build on these skills as they prepare to lead bike rides for younger youth. 💛
