► OUR MISSION
Empowering Young People to Lead Safe & Socially Responsible Lives
► WHO WE SERVE
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 it serves:
Young people increase their life functioning strengths.
Young people increase their educational attainment.
Young people increase their independent living skills.
► THEORY OF CHANGE
EBAYC advances its mission and its intended impacts through its 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.
► ORGANIZATIONAL VALUES
EBAYC’s work is guided by four core values:
Resident Leadership
EBAYC is accountable to the needs and aspirations of young people and families by engaging them and lifting their voices at all levels of the organization.
Learning Organization
EBAYC continuously improves its services, programs, operations, and governance through data, research, listening, and collaboration.
Cultural Humility
EBAYC listens, learns, and grows around race, ethnicity, culture, language, class, gender, sexual preference, and generation.
Healing
EBAYC is conscious of and proactively responds to the impact that poverty, violence, migration, and traumatic life experiences have on the lives of young people, families, and employees.
