UPCOMING events & LATEST NEWS

Chapter 510 is celebrating its 10th anniversary at a time of crisis in our country. When we started, we wanted Oakland youth to be seen and to have the opportunity to write in community. We couldn’t foresee that 10 years later the entire world would be struggling for a way to unite around basic human rights. This Impact Report provides just a glimpse into the first 10 years of the Chapter 510 story.

Chapter 510’s new strategic plan doubles down on our mission to elevate the voices of Oakland’s Black, brown, and queer youth. In this shifting political and social landscape, our young people need a safe community to express themselves, and we need to hear them. Building on a decade of engagement, our plan amplifies our commitment to holding space for youth.
