Tongan Youth Project

Acta Non Verba Youth Urban Farm Project is a community-driven initiative based in East Oakland, CA, primarily led by women of color from the surrounding neighborhoods. The organization focuses on urban farming to challenge oppressive dynamics and foster a safe, creative outdoor space for children, youth, and families. Through various programs, including after-school initiatives and community-supported agriculture, Acta Non Verba empowers local residents by enhancing their understanding of nutrition, food production, and healthy living. The project actively addresses food justice issues, promoting a healthier and happier community in East Oakland. Generated from the website

Faith Network of the East Bay founded in 2001, is a collaboration of organizations, congregations, businesses, educators, civic leaders and concerned individuals mobilized to invest their time and other resources to improve the whole health of children and families. We seek to develop these partnerships and challenge people to act on their values to help schools, families and communities develop students who have acquired the skills and attitudes that will maximize their full potential and enhance their participation as responsible, contributing members of society. Through its Urban School Adoption program Faith Network, in response to needs expressed by school principals and teachers, provides tutors, mentors, classroom assistants, library helpers, teacher appreciation events, family support, summer camp for city kids and more.
