Oakland Leaf Foundation



About Oakland Leaf Oakland Leaf was incorporated in 2002 by a group of Oakland educators who shared a commitment to cultivate community transformation through creative education for youth and families. Our goal is simple - give our students and their parents the resources they need to become creative leaders who actualize a more loving, just, and vibrant Oakland.We provide free comprehensive and innovative after-school programs for six elementary and middle school students to feed the minds, bodies, and spirits of low-income youth in Oakland. Our after school model takes a holistic approach and is rooted in interweaving five core components that correlate to challenges faced by our community: 1) Literacy, 2) Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM), 3) Art and Culture, 4) Health and Wellness, 5) Empowerment and Leadership. We plant seeds to grow. We root in, rise up, and branch out. We’re committed to stay.Position OverviewOakland Leaf seek a Program Assistant (0.73 FTE) who will carry out the vision and mission of Oakland Leaf by assisting the Site Manager with administrative duties to run the After-School Program.
