Oakland Leaf's cutting edge comprehensive after-school program Urban Arts/Project Phoenix was established in 2005. The Urban Arts/ Project Phoenix after-school program located in the heart of Fruitvale District endeavors to provide students with a safe, caring, and fun learning environment between the hours of 3:00pm - 6:00pm, Monday - Friday. This program serves over 50% of the 6th -8th grade Urban Promise Academy's student population.
Students receive strong academic support, and exposure to artistic, cultural-consciousness, recreational, social justice, leadership, and urban ecological focused enrichment classes. The Urban Arts/ Project Phoenix after-school program and the Urban Promise Academy's Parent/Family Resource Center work in tandem to provide both students and their families with access to support and services. FRC services include parent education classes, ESL classes & translation services, ADULT computer classes, wellness workshops for parents (nutrition, cooking, fitness), student mental health referrals, advocacy, & support for families/school staff, while providing a compassionate, welcoming atmosphere for our families.
