EOYDC is in Oakland treasure. Whoever is supplying the funding, direction and inspiration behind this institution, may they be given all the love respect and appreciation they deserve. This is a special place with really amazing people working there. To offer so much to a community that can really use it is something you can't help but appreciate and admire. The management and staff there are incredible, kind, and truly caring people. Places like this are true investments in the future of Oakland.

My kids enjoy this great place for After school fun and support with educational materials from school, and to get out whatever energy that's left in your kid. They'll be tired when they get home, with this team's efforts. I thank them, and for their time spent with my little ones.❤️💯😇✌🏿

Wonderful space. Really serves the community. Variety of programming all relevant and supportive! Attending a memorial for a community activist in Oakland. Great place for any family oriented program. Maybe even a wedding.
