Oakland Legacy Project

The Legacy Project provides during and after school programming for youth. Legacy curriculum bridges the arts, environmental awareness, local history and community advocacy.

Legacy Project: After School Leadership 

Our leadership program supports youth in developing powerful, educated voices for social and environmental
justice in their communities. Students are able to work side by side with experienced artists, environmentalists, farmers
and activists, all who support them in their journeys as young visionaries. Throughout the year we delve into our own ancestries and the history of the land we occupy, learn urban farming techniques, create art, and take field trips with the goal of creating a deeper connection with our land and one another. 

• Open to students aged 13-18
• Possible to earn $500+ stipends
• Next Session: September 2023 - May 2024

Apply by Friday, August 25th. Program starts on Monday, September 5th.

“I am a very anxious person and I occasionally will become closed off to the people around me, but when I am with AHC, all of my worries go away. This safe space is never discriminating or criticizing, I feel emotionally and physically safe here. I am not afraid to show my real self.”

- Rodney Marshall, 11th grade, Emery High (2019)
