What do we do?
HEAL BLOG
HEAL visited Youth Uprising in Oakland, and discussed the successes and challenges that YU has experienced in advancing its mission to provide an array of community activities and health based services for young people.
Our discussion focused on the mental health aspect of Youth Uprising, and the importance of physically and psychologically safe community spaces for youth. We were impressed by the impact YU has had on students from Castlemont High School, along with many other young people from throughout the Bay Area. We especially appreciated the authenticity and genuine desire of staff at YU to provide positive activities and places of community engagement and learning in an age appropriate and culturally relevant way.
