Since 2007, Points of Light has addressed a critical gap in youth support across Oakland. Despite more than 500 churches, many students lack a dedicated full time youth leader and are vulnerable to negative influences. We offer consistent mentorship, leadership training, and a supportive community that gives youth hope and opens doors to life changing opportunities.

We serve locally and consistently. Points of Light plants teams of two Kids Leaders and two Youth Leaders in every municipal district, creating year-round hubs for mentorship, discipleship, and leadership development
