Why We Need You

Build a Home for Oroville’s Kids

We’re turning a community building into a youth center for sports and learning — and we’re working hard to open the doors this year. Every gift brings us closer.

Why Support Us

Your Support Changes Everything

This isn’t just a building — it’s where Oroville’s kids will grow. Here’s what your generosity makes possible.

Diverse community members of all ages gathered together, representing local investment and community-driven impact.

Your Gift Stays in Oroville

Every dollar you give goes directly to building our center and serving our community. No middleman. Just local impact.

Kids of diverse backgrounds gathered in a supportive circle with a mentor, feeling safe and welcomed.

You’re Building Safety & Belonging

You’re creating a welcoming space where kids from all backgrounds feel included, supported, and encouraged to grow — physically, academically, and emotionally.

Child surrounded by symbols of discovery — sports, academics, arts, and music — representing unlimited potential.

You’re Unlocking Potential

Sports teach teamwork and confidence. Tutoring builds academic skills. Arts fuel creativity. Every program helps kids discover who they can become.

Watch It Come Together

Building It, One Step at a Time

We’re documenting every milestone. Here’s the latest from the center as it takes shape.

JUNE 2026

We Have a Home

We’ve secured our space at 1950 Kitrick Ave — the former community resource center that will become the Oroville Youth Sports Center.

JUNE 2026

Boots on the Ground — and Our Name on the Wall

The work has officially begun. Volunteers and crews spent the day clearing the grounds, running electrical inside, and prepping the space for what’s ahead — and we capped it off by mounting our logo on the building for the first time. It’s early days, but seeing the Oroville Youth Sports Center name go up made it all feel real.

Our First Milestone

Help Us Lay the Foundation

Our first goal is $20,000 for a multi-purpose sports floor — the literal foundation every program will be built on. Once we reach this milestone, we can open our doors and start changing lives.
