ABOUT US
Mission
Community & Youth Outreach (CYO) helps save lives and develop youth. On the frontlines to prevent violence and support disadvantaged young people to thrive, CYO provides outreach, mentoring, case management and support to high-risk youth and young adults in Oakland. We believe that once you establish a trusting and caring relationship, even with the very highest risk young people, you can provide them with opportunities to succeed and support them in overcoming challenges.
Vision
CYO’s vision is to see safe neighborhoods for all of our children, and empower them to see their greatest potential having access to the support and resources to reach them.
Values:
- We Believe that all of our youth deserve safe neighborhoods
- We Believe that building trusting relationships is the foundation for positive youth development.
- We Believe that mentorship with positive, productive adults is critical to our youth continuing on a path to success.
- We Believe that partnership and collaboration in our neighborhoods can help our youth reach their highest potential.
