Opening its doors in June 2024, The Oscar Grant Youth Power Zone at the Fruitvale Transit Village is more than a home for CURYJ: It is the first building-block of community infrastructure that will help us realize the end to youth incarceration in California during our lifetimes.

We still need to raise $394,923 by June for the building at Casa Sueños. CURYJ also acquired the Bonanza Building in December 2023; we need to raise $305,000 for renovation and retrofitting to make this space usable.

Close Youth Prisons, Build Youth Leaders
By 2030, we aim to end youth incarceration in California. Every young person is sacred and every young person is a gift. But too many are silenced and disempowered by the impacts of the criminal, immigration, foster care, police, and education systems. We work for transformation and liberation through a combination of individual and collective healing and significant shifts in policy.
Cost per year to lock up a child in Alameda county
Incarcerated youth who are Black or Brown
Incarcerated young people who experience repeated trauma
Systems-impacted young people enrolled in CURYJ programs each year
Participants whose sense of belonging and emotional wellness increases
Participants who develop and master new skills
Because of CURYJ, I feel liberated… Thank God for programs like this, for spaces like this.
