YGB Returns to Oakland School for the Arts

After five years away from Oakland, Young Gifted and Black is excited to announce our return to Oakland School for the Arts in 2023. YGB rehearsals will happen on Mondays and Wednesdays from 4-6p under the direction of Ikera Davis, YGB Oakland Founder and current Director of YGB Berkeley. Other alumni from YGB Oakland will staff the program, providing a direct line from the past to the future of YGB in the city.

This of course means Young Gifted and Black is currently recruiting youth and families to join our effort to spread Black Love and Black pride throughout the Bay Area. We have 15 available spaces in the Oakland ensemble for young people ages 7 - 11 to learn, recite, and teach Black history. We also have some available spaces in our Berkeley program with our expansion into Oakland. Click here to join us.
