“My journey with the Boys & Girls Clubs of Oakland has profoundly shaped who I am today. Initially, I joined the Club out of curiosity, but it quickly became a vital part of my life - a community that nurtured my growth in ways I never imagined. When I first walked through those doors, I was an introverted kid who often felt like an outsider. However, the Club became a place where my shyness transformed into confidence.”
