Our Story

Turning an Empty Building Into a Home for Oroville’s Kids

Founded in 2026 by local community leaders, the Oroville Youth Sports Center is taking shape inside a former community building. We’re transforming it into a space for basketball, volleyball, wrestling, tutoring, and the arts—a safe place where kids can grow physically, academically, and socially. There’s real work ahead: floors, equipment, and more. Every bit of support brings us closer to opening day.

OUR FIRST MILESTONE

Help Us Lay the Foundation

Our first goal is a $20,000 multi-purpose sports floor — the literal foundation every program will be built on. A safe, durable surface means basketball, volleyball, and more can start the moment the doors open.
