The mission of Great Oak Youth Development Center is to provide a foundation for achievement and success among male youth within targeted communities by directly providing educational assistance, mentoring, leadership and life skills training, and cultural awareness activities.

Village Walk

Join the Great Oak Village:   Great Oak Youth Development Center is holding our first ever Village Walk on Saturday May 12, 2012 from 9:00 AM to Noon. The walk will begin and end at 208 Campbell Avenue. Your support is needed. The purpose of the walk is to call people of all races together and bring further awareness regarding the tremendous need for us to act as a village in rearing our young boys to become respectable and productive men. As stated by many, “It takes a village to a raise a child” (African proverb, 1996).

How to Help

Great Oak is a 501(c)(3) charitable nonprofit. We rely on donations for a substantial portion of our funding to run our program. Every aspect of the services we provide to students is free. Our program expenses range from facility and materials for Leadership Academy to transportation for students as part of our cultural awareness activities. Every donation for Great Oak will make a difference in assisting in building lasting foundations for our youth.
