Oakstop Alliance

In January 2020, Oakstop launched Oakstop Alliance, its nonprofit affiliate organization, created to further serve the communities of the East Bay with free to low cost space and experiences. Oakstop Alliance furthers the mission of democratizing space by actively curating social good programs with practitioners and non-profit organizations that confront and deconstruct the barriers of systematic oppression with actionable results.

The four program areas of Oakstop Alliance are:

1. Economic Empowerment - Personal and professional guidance to economic stability and fulfillment; personal finance, workforce development, small business development, real estate.
2. Culture & Creativity - Embracing the arts and our cultural identities as a critical factor in strengthening our communities and creating value for ourselves in our growing economy.
3. Community Wellness - Nurturing the health of our communities, starting with the individual’s physical, mental, and spiritual well being, then transitioning to cultivating community leadership.
4. Youth Development - ​Integrating the next generation in our movements for social, economic, and cultural justice by equipping them with resources to excel academically and professionally.
