Our Mission
The mission of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Oakland is to develop our community’s youth into positive contributors to society.
My name is Liz, and I have the honor of representing Oakland as the 2025 Youth of the Year. Please join me to celebrate the 36th Annual Salute to Youth on June 26th, 2025. This is an incredible opportunity to witness the impact you have created across many Oakland stars through your support, including myself. Whether you donate, sponsor, attend, or simply spread the word – it will all make a difference. Thank you for supporting tomorrow’s leaders, see you there!
