Volunteer: Get Involved with Homies EmpowermentHomies Empowerment is an independent, grassroots community-based organization out of East Oakland. They started as a volunteer-run, Jefferson Award-winning, after-school program taking on an approach and a way of seeing gang-impacted youth through an asset-based lens. To provide spaces where youth can heal, thrive and self-actualize, they mirror the positive assets that attract young people to gangs: a sense of belonging, protection, rites of passage, and meeting basic needs. Their after-school program evolved to full-fledged Ethnic Studies and Leadership courses offered throughout Oakland schools. With the onset of COVID-19, they went from being exclusively a youth-development and educational-focused organization to one that stands in solidarity with the entire community to help meet their urgent food and basic needs. Their Block Clean-Up Crew also came together to contribute to a clean and dignified community environment. Currently, Homies is operating a Community Care Center, Learning Center, and several food access programs out of their FREEdom Store: Tuesday food distribution, Love Packages, and Loaves and Fishes.

Volunteer: Sign-up to be a Tutor for the Literacy for Every Adult ProgramLiteracy for Every Adult Program (LEAP)
LEAP is a free program sponsored by the Richmond Public Library in which tutors and learners work one-on-one or in small groups. LEAP's purpose is to help adults develop the skills and confidence they need to achieve their individual goals. In 1984, The Richmond Public Library started one of the original library-based adult literacy programs. With the startling recognition that 1 out of 5 adults in our country lacked the basic literacy skills for full participation in community and economic sphere, funding became available for new programs. Since that time, Richmond residents enrolled in LEAP for a variety of purposes. At first it was to improve basic reading and writing skills, but as time passed LEAP recognized community needs, expanding its services to GED preparation, English as a Second Language, math literacy and computer literacy.
