The Heal the Streets Fellowship program creates proactive youth voices in the fight for social change in Oakland. Our goal at the Ella Baker Center is to train tomorrow's leaders to develop and promote smart policy solutions that decrease violence and increase opportunity.
Heal the Streets is a ten-month paid fellowship program that trains Oakland's youth (ages 15 - 18) to develop and advocate for policies that bring peace and hope to our streets. Heal the Streets Fellows will have the opportunity to gain experience working with staff on the front lines of public policy reform. As the fellowship enters its second year, Ella Baker Center continues its legacy as a training ground for social justice leaders.

Current Project:
You and Me and the Fruit Trees shares the stories of survivors of child sexual abuse (CSA), broadens our response beyond the criminal justice system, and show's how society’s inability to effectively address CSA impacts not only individuals, but whole communities and society at large. Each interview featured in the film will highlight the often complex relationships in CSA, the magnitude of their trauma and the importance of healing. The film will discuss the criminal justice system and focus on specific policies that need to change in order to effectively address CSA.
