MAPPING OUR SUCCESS

EOYDC is committed to providing evidence based practices. This retrospective analysis demonstrates the effectiveness of our developmental foundation, on which we have built platforms of success.

Building Character to Build Communities

OUR WORK

Since 1978, EOYDC has provided transformative programming and mentorship to youth of Oakland. A comprehensive analysis of responses from 315 alumni revealed EOYDC alumni transition into responsible, educated, economically self-sufficient, engaged citizens. We attribute the success of our students to our character based leadership model. This model is delivered in 3 main categories:

Character Building

Academic Excellence

Structure & Exposure

OUR IMPACT

Character Building

Students are inspired to discover their strengths, and thusly follow educational and career paths that are meaningful to them. Below are the college majors (left) and the resulting careers (right) of alumni.

Structure & Exposure

We prepare students to succeed in any environment by exposing them to worlds outside of their own. Students gain valuable exposure and experience through domestic travel, visiting college campuses across the nation, and through international delegation programs, visiting countries across the globe. Students gain interpersonal skills, confidence, and subject matter expertise as they are empowered to contribute to organizational and thought leadership through student-led programming.





Evidence of program effectiveness are the high instances of student travel, independence and self confidence.
