Last year the program was focused on social impact organizations in Oakland and the awardees were:
Oakland Genesis, a cost-free youth development program offering soccer and academic programs. Their programs include free access to soccer and professional coaching, academic support, college counseling and transportation. Oakland Genesis used the grant to fund their "Beyond High School” program.
MISSSEY works to stop the sexual exploitation of youth through preventative measures and by supporting those exiting exploitative situations. They work to address the root causes of sexual exploitation, including poverty and lack of resources. MISSSEY used the grant to help fund their monthly benefits navigation clinic, which helps young women and mothers learn about resources available to them such as food stamps and health care.
