Why East Oakland
needs EOBA.
For more than 40 years, EOBA has stood as a safe harbor in one of Oakland’s toughest neighborhoods. What began as a boxing gym grew into a full campus where kids get a hot meal, a caring adult, and a reason to show up every day. EOBA is the place that says you matter, and your future matters.
