MISSION: Oakland Youth Aspire (OYA) - formerly What Now America - enriches the lives of youth by creating a fun and welcoming environment that promotes a healthy lifestyle and fosters open communication, empathy, and the development of interpersonal skills.
VISION: Our goal is to help youth aspire to live healthy and productive lives, and develop fundamental skills to reach their fullest potential.
We are a free youth center, open every Saturday, 12:30-5pm in West Oakland.
Help us give youth the personal interaction and support they need to become well-rounded adults. On a typical day, volunteers work one-on-one with youth or in small groups of participants reading together, facilitating our social emotional learning activities and physical fitness during our outdoors portion of the program.
We are a 100% volunteer organization and your help is greatly appreicated. If you want to volunteer, but can't do Saturdays with the youth, there are many other ways to help, including administration help, graphic design, and other advisory roles.

Description
Oakland Youth Aspire (OYA) enriches the lives of youth by creating a fun and welcoming environment that promotes a healthy lifestyle and fosters open communication, empathy, and the development of interpersonal skills.
VISION:
Our vision is to help youth aspire to live healthy and productive lives, and develop fundamental skills to reach their fullest potential.
We do this by following our core values:
- Inclusion and Respect: We provide a safe place that is inclusive and welcoming to youth from all economic, cultural and social backgrounds. In this collaborative environment, youth, volunteers, and board members listen to, respect and value one another.
- Life Skills and Relationships: We utilize social emotional learning techniques with a focus on communication, empathy, and conflict resolution. We encourage nurturing relationships among board members, volunteers and the youth we serve. We believe that by supporting youth we are also strengthening families and community
- Healthy Lifestyles: We believe in promoting healthy lifestyles and physical activity. We provide access to nutritious food with well-balanced meals and weekly grocery bag giveaways, and we teach youth how to prepare healthy meals in our teen-cooking program.
