WHO IS FOR OAK CLIFF?
For Oak Cliff is a culturally relevant non-profit organization based in Dallas, TX serving the South Oak Cliff community. For Oak Cliff's mission is to provide culturally responsive initiatives in South Oak Cliff to liberate the community from systemic oppression, create a culture of education, and increase social mobility and social capital. We aim to accomplish our mission by curating dual-gen, community-driven programming through our four pillars: Education, Advocacy, Community Building, and Arts.
What is Dual-Gen? Our 2-generation approach to each pillar and program. We find it more effective to evoke radical change by engaging everyone in the home, student and guardians. For example, under Education, we have LENA for our budding students (ages 0-3), after-school time programs (ages 6-12), and GED classes (ages 18+). Our Community Building pillar offers summer sports camps (ages 5- 12) and health talks and community mixers for our OG's (ages 55+).
Visit each pillar on our site to learn more about our ongoing programming and how you can get involved today!

WHO WE SERVE
A superblock is a neighborhood sectioned off by certain boundaries such as streets or highways. Within this superblock is a center or main meeting place that gives back to the community. For Oak Cliff serves as the collective impact backbone for the 75216 Superblock, in which we aim to work hand in hand with community members to create culturally relevant programming!
