Boys & Girls Club offers haven

Hegenberger

At the Ossain E. Carr Branch of the Boys & Girls Club of Oakland (8530 International Blvd.), youth in the Hegenberger and Elmhurst neighborhoods can find a safe place in which to learn, grow and play.

The Boys & Girls Clubs of Oakland began in 1941 to develop the community's youth and provide a safe place to serve families and children ages 6 to 17. With a goal to serve over 5,000 youth and 10 percent of the Oakland Public School District's enrollment, the Boys & Girls Clubs work year around to provide programs that cater to all backgrounds, disadvantages, or special circumstances. Club membership costs $20 for the whole year.

During the school year, kids can participate in the 'Power Hour,' which is a tutorial and homework assistance program that is coordinated with the work of Oakland public schools. Starting at age 11, youth can be introduced to different career options through the 'Career Beginnings' program.

'We have a big academic focus here at the Boys & Girls Club,' said Fred Fraizer, director at Ossain E. Carr Branch. 'By networking with feeder schools, we are able to design programs that are needed outside of the classrooms.'

Health and life skills are important values that the club promotes. There are programs designed to establish a positive self-image, develop healthy eating habits, and grow individuals to be self-sufficient adults.

This branch offers free lunch and snack programs as well as cooking classes in the clubhouse. The club also provided free health screenings and physical fitness assessments that can be catered to each child.

Sports and recreation is one key to the development of each child and the Ossain E. Carr branch membership includes sports, art classes, and zumba classes in the dance room. From the basketball court to the game room, kids can find an activity that they enjoy and participate in daily games to stay fit.

'We're looking forward to the East Bay BRT because it will provide access for our members and comfort for their parents,' said Fraizer. 'Our kids will arrive safely and affordably.'

'I take the bus to downtown San Leandro to see my doctor all the time so I look forward to East Bay BRT getting me there with less hassle,' said Allen.
