Mission

The mission of Oakland Kids First (OKF) is to increase youth voice, leadership, and power to create engaging and equitable public schools where all students learn and lead. Founded in 1995 by a multi-racial coalition of youth serving community based organizations, Oakland Kids First now works with 120 core youth leaders and 3,400 additional high school students each year across programs. OKF programs advance safe and caring school cultures, support youth to advocate for their needs and priorities, and improve educational equity, racial justice, and academic outcomes for low-income students of color. We offer programs that include leadership development, academic support and information sharing, enrichment, wellness, linked learning internships, and youth organizing.

About

Representing Educated Active Leaders Having A Righteous Dream (REAL HARD) is an after-school youth organizing program that engages 9th12th grade leaders in positive school culture formation to increase belonging, equity and graduation rates. REAL HARD has ensured students feel a greater sense of safety and belonging on campus, while also inserting themselves into adult decision-making spaces to advocate for student needs. All four of REAL HARD's sites have adopted student created Codes of Respect and REAL HARD students have developed various strategies to uphold and institutionalize these codes via school currency and stores to incentivize the lifting up of positive school culture. This student work has been institutionalized at several sites and continues to grow. REAL HARD is at Oakland Tech, Fremont, Castlemont, and Oakland High School
