EBAYC envisions all young people growing up to be lifelong builders of a just and compassionate multicultural society. Our mission is to empower young people to lead safe and socially responsible lives. Working at the intersection of race and place, EBAYC supports all young people who are in low-wealth and high-stress communities where a significant population of Asian youth are present. EBAYC serves a racially and culturally diverse membership of over 2,500 young people each year, of whom the vast majority reside in Oakland’s San Antonio community and in South Sacramento. EBAYC seeks to impact the lives of young people we serve through our implementation of a comprehensive place-based strategy of: Supporting young people most impacted by generational poverty, violence, and forced migration through intensive outreach, life coaching, and wraparound supports. Supporting all young people by providing out-of-school-time learning opportunities and wraparound supports to young people and their families, in partnership with neighborhood public schools. Supporting all families by improving the quality of life in their neighborhoods through collective participatory action.
