BOYZNDAHOOD FOUNDATION

Was created out of love, urgency, and a deep belief that our youth deserve more than the circumstances they were born into.

In our communities—especially in high-violence, low-income areas like Oakland—too many young people are growing up surrounded by loss, trauma, and limited opportunities. Some of our youth loss either one or both parents some of our youth don’t have a big brother some of our youth don’t have big uncles some our youth Don’t have a lot of support.

What they do have is hope, faith, and untapped potential.

Without guidance and support, too many of these children are at risk of becoming victims of the streets—not because they lack ability, but because they lack access, resources, and consistent encouragement. We are determined to change that narrative.

BOYZNDAHOOD FOUNDATION exists to show our youth a different path. Through our entrepreneurship program, we inspire young people to dream bigger, set goals, and believe that their ideas matter. We teach them that they can create, build, and lead—despite where they come from or what they’ve been through.

But we cannot do this alone.

We are raising funds to provide our youth with the tools, materials, products, and resources they need to turn their dreams into reality. Every dollar donated goes directly toward supporting these kids—helping them learn skills, build confidence, and see a future beyond survival.

This work truly takes a village. Your support can help keep a child focused on purpose instead of pain, opportunity instead of danger, and hope instead of fear.

Everything counts. Whether it’s a donation, a share, or a prayer—you are helping us protect, uplift, and empower our youth.
