OK Program of Oakland

The OK (Our Kids) Program is a mentoring and leadership development model that focuses on African-American males 12 to 18 years old. The goals of the OK Program are to develop leadership and critical thinking skills, promote academic excellence, and reduce the high rates of incarceration and homicide amongst young Black males. Additionally, we improve relationships between law-enforcement and Black communities. Our collaborative team membership model brings together local police officers, school districts, and the faith community to improve lives while empowering Black men and boys to transform their communities.
