The Oaklandside | How East Oakland Teens are Breaking The Cycle of Gun & Gang Violence

Teens on Target Open House

Last week, Youth ALIVE! hosted a special Teens on Target (TNT) Open House, offering a firsthand look at how Oakland high school youth are leading the way in violence prevention.

We were proud to welcome Roselyn Romero from The Oaklandside, who beautifully captured the power of the evening and the impact of TNT. Her article highlights how our youth leaders are transforming lived experience into leadership, education, and healing.

Thank you to everyone who joined us—and most of all, to our incredible TNT youth leaders. You’re showing Oakland what it means to turn pain into power. 💜
