We are currently conducting community outreach and engagement to hear from Oakland about what young people need. We will be hosting a series of community forums, focus groups, and key informant interviews with young people, parents, providers, and other community stakeholders.

We want to know what you think.  What do you think the greatest needs of young people in Oakland are? What are the opportunities that OFCY should explore for improving the lives of young people in Oakland?
