Youth Centers & Food Pantries, in Urban and economically challenged communities in Oakland and Bakersfield California.
Nu Creation Outreach is a non-profit organization that operates Youth Centers & Food Pantries, in Urban and economically challenged communities in Oakland and Bakersfield California. Our programs main focus is to decrease the violence and crime, while increasing the unity; education and prosperity by operating (free to the public) Youth Centers and Food Pantries. Our centers are a safe haven provided to disadvantage youth to reach their full potential by providing them high quality after school tutoring, outdoor-indoor activities, mentoring as well as counseling. There are three intertwined issues that have our attention, and we believe can be addressed in our Youth Centers & Food Pantries: (1) The current education level in which not enough youth are meeting the state level requirements. (2) The criminal violence level that has recently claimed the lives of 3 young boys. (3) The need to assist poverty in an economically challenged economy.
Throughout the United States including Oakland and Bakersfield California, communities are faced with the devastating effects of the lack of education for tomorrow's future. This missing link strikes a powerful blow in Alameda and Kern County, for example less than 80% of schools (Elementary to Junior High School) are not meeting the States requirements for education in the area to which we serve. Oakland rates 3rd in our nation for homicides, Bakersfield is first in the nation for teen pregnancy. In 2011 there were 110 homicides
